You can use the kfxgen plugin instead of KFX Output for most books. It does not require the Kindle Previewer for conversion.
Thanks, for the update and letting me know about KFXGen. I loved the ability to get page numbers on using your plugin so I'll definitely download it once the support is there for Kindle Previewer 4. Thanks for making it easy.

I update using Homebrew (macOS). It said it updated successfully to 4.0.0, and it says it is 4.0.0 when asked which version is installed, but It is still launching as "Kindle Previewer 3" (v3.107.0), and KFX Output still works.

Do not know what to make of this.

Under MacOS the plugin looks for the app at "/Applications/Kindle Previewer 3.app". I suspect that the previous version is still present on your system along with the newer of the Previewer under a different name.

In case it's useful, here's how I added support for Kindle Previewer 4 to Kindle Comic Converter. It looks for kindlegen:

https://github.com/ciromattia/kcc/pull/1439/changes
https://github.com/ciromattia/kcc/pull/1440/changes

MacOS was easy, it just changed location slightly. Windows was trickier since you don't get execute permissions so I copied the file somewhere else from C:\\Program Files\\WindowsApps\\KindlePreviewerApp_4.0.0.0_x64 __ek06e0aw29nma\\KindlePreviewerApp\\resources\\KF XGen\\bin

Thanks. That should be helpful.

(I am currently setting up a new PC since my previous one failed and it will be about a week before I can get back to working on this.)
