I am a Microsoft 365 subscriber and I received the update awhile ago. It is accessed using File, Export, Send documents to Kindle. See attached screenshots.

I'll start a separate thread if get anywhere with this.
A separate file with a name ending in "-journal" is a normal part of an SQLite database. It is a Rollback Journal, a temporary file used to implement atomic commit and rollback capabilities in SQLite.

That might work or it might cause new problems. Amazon is trying to keep the contents of notebooks in sync with their servers by delivering incremental updates when something changes. Replacing the file with one in a different state might screw that up.
