The fault lies in the fact that Chrome tries to fit "unknown" MIME types into standard ones and Amazon's server is not declaring the application/epub+zip MIME type. (Don't trust this gibberish--I got it from Google's AI! Someone with a better understanding of MIME types could probably restate this in English)
No browser should be changing the file extension if there's no mime type. So really, it's the fault of the browser.
