If the book appears to import correctly, but the title is coming out something like "B123456789 EBOK" then you should look under Preferences -> Adding Books that the option "Read metadata from file contents rather than file name" is checked.

If that setting is already checked then the most likely reason for such a title is a failure to import correctly. But that doesn't seem to be the case since the book comes out readable.

If you mean something else by "generic codes" then give an example.

A book in KFX format should import as KFX if successful. A failure to import should result in AZW or KFX-ZIP. If the book imports as MOBI then it is in MOBI format, not KFX and this plugin will have nothing to do with that book.

This is assuming that you have not set "Automatically convert added books to the current output format" in Preferences -> Adding Books -> Adding actions. If you are using that setting then uncheck it so that you can see what format is actually being imported.
