Ok, I did install Python 2.6.6. I don't know if that is what made it work or not.

What i didn't do was press the CONVERT button at the top to try to actually convert the book into a different format.

This AZW1 topaz file was different from the AZW files. The AZW files converted to MOBI as soon as they were imported.

I was able to convert the topaz file to PDF, ePUB, MOBI etc. I didn't see any junk in the file. It did have some linked footnotes/endnotes that will need to be fixed. The Links spread throughout the paragraph rather than being just the footnote.

It appears to me that not all Topaz files are just OCR junk.
