Since that book is available in the US I was able to examine it to see what is going wrong with the conversion from KFX.
The problem is in how the numbers placed to the right of the text throughout the book are handled. The publisher used unusual HTML formatting to achieve this. It is rendered properly in KF8/AZW3 format. However Amazon's conversion of the book to KFX alters the formatting, causing the numbers to become embedded within the text instead of being kept separate.
The next release of this plugin will no longer produce an error when that unexpected formatting is encountered. Unfortunately conversion will still result in incorrect placement of the numbers, matching how the book renders in KFX.
