One friend of mine who purchased BookFab the first time around and tested it with a throwaway Amazon account downloaded the 1.2.04 version which claimed "1.2.0.4 2025-07-08 New: Kindle eBook import function is upgraded and now supports decrypting the latest version of Kindle eBooks to improve the reading experience". He has K4PC 2.7.1 (70978) installed so he decided to test BookFab again.
When he installed and opened this version, it once again wanted him to sign into his Amazon account which he did with the throwaway account. After doing this, he browsed to the folder where his downloaded Kindle ebooks were located, selected one of them and tried importing it. 15 minutes later, it had made it to "Analyzing your file 99%". This is on a Intel i9-14900K, 32GB of DDR5 RAM and a NVMe PCI-4 SSD. Oddly at 99%, the CPU was idling at 1-2%, the SSD was showing 0% and the network connection was showing occasional bursts of up to 48Kbps send and/or receive activity. After 45 minutes at 99%, he killed the task.
Yesterday (2025-Jul-17), he tried 1.2.0.5 though it only claimed audio book improvements. Again, after an hour, Analyzing 99% was still sitting on the screen and he killed the task.
