Odd partially corrupted output: AZW to MOBI

[Kirok]

I've tried removing the DRM from an Amazon Kindle file a few times using various scripts. It works each time but the output is partially corrupted (screenshots below), if I skip forward a few pages it's fine again. One thing to not that when this corruption appears it seems to break the next button.

Corrupt


Not Corrupt


Anyone have any ideas?

Since we can't do anything about it here, it is a good idea to notify the developer of the script.

Will do, I tried googling but I was just wondering if it was some sort of known issue.

I know when I view the book in Calibre's viewer the text gets bigger as you go forward.

It seems that I've seen this before. And AFAIK the developer needs to get a problematic book to fix the script bug.

Ah right, well the book in question was Red Hat Certified Technician & Engineer (RHCT and RHCE) Training Guide and Administrator's Reference by Asghar Ghori (ISBN-10: 1615844309 and ISBN-13: 978-1615844302). I've got it uploaded here but I'll willing to up it anywhere. If they need access to the Kindle format, I suppose we can try to work around that.

I'll try searching for details and contacting the various developers with the information.

Great idea. But I suppose the book seller can identify you, so it is a good idea to send private messages or e-mails.
