I finally was able to get it correct by using a third-party archive app. I'm sure there was a way to avoid this, but I can't find any details to assist.
Anyway, it is working perfectly! One less reason to use my Kindle! Now if we could just be able to disable the touchscreen for devices with buttons, I would be home free.
You need to tell Mac not automatically to unarchive stuff
Open Safari.
Click Preferences.
Under the General tab, uncheck the option Open “safe” files after downloading.

And if you disable the touchscreen, then you won't be able to tap on books to open them, as there is no Enter key
