I've been using the Kindle Unpack plugin to convert some fixed-layout children's books from AZW3 to EPUB, and I'm running into some formatting issues.
When I convert the AZW3 files of "The Berenstain Bears Go to Camp" and "Noah's Ark" by Peter Spier using the KF8 to EPUB option, the resulting EPUB has formatting problems when viewed in Apple Books, Readest, and BookFusion. The issues are consistent across all non-Kindle reading apps.
The AZW3 files display perfectly on a Kindle device (I sideloaded the files I bought on my account, with DRM stripped, to my daughter's Colorsoft). When I open the DRM-stripped AZW3s directly in an app that supports it (like Readest), the same formatting issues appear as in the converted EPUB.
This suggests there's some Kindle-specific formatting in the AZW3s that isn't being correctly interpreted or converted to a standard EPUB format that other readers can understand.
I have the DRM-stripped AZW3 files for both books that I am providing scrambled for your analysis. This might help in debugging the conversion process for these types of fixed-layout books.
Thank you for your time and for this very useful plugin.
