Version 0.3 of Paperback, my incredibly fast and light-weight ebook and document reader for Windows, is out! What's new:
• Fixed the table of contents in epub books with URL-encoded manifests.
• Fixed heading navigation in HTML documents containing multi-byte Unicode characters.
• Fixed high CPU usage in documents with long titles due to a regression in wxWidgets.
• Fixed loading UTF-8 text files.
• Fixed nested TOC items in EPub books putting your cursor at the wrong position.
• Fixed a crash on application exit in certain cases.
• Added a checkbox in the options dialog to enable or disable word wrap!
• It is now possible to donate to Paperback’s development, either through the new donate item in the help menu or through the sponsor this project link at the bottom of the GitHub repository’s main page.
• Markdown documents will now always have a title, and Paperback should now be able to load virtually any Markdown file.
• PDF documents will now always have a title, even if the metadata is missing.
• Switched PDF libraries to the one used in Chromium, leading to far more reliable PDF parsing across the board.
• You can now only have one instance of Paperback running at a time. Running paperback.exe with a filename while it’s already running will open that document in the already running instance.
• You can now press delete on a document in the tab control to close it.

Ah, not as far as I know. Requiem existed way back when for lossless decryption, but I don't think any of us have the right environment to make that work anymore. Sorry:

True, and I suppose that's the important thing in the end. I made sure when I first started decrypting Kindle books that I (1) got it in the KF8 format that kept as much of the xhtml content untouched and (2) grabbed the KFX to get higher-quality images. I'm glad I switched my platform to something a little more frictionless though and am now just decrypting an EPUB. @jcsteh

@jcsteh I switched to Kobo and just decrypt with Codex and a super old version of Adobe Digital Editions. I know you can use modern DeDRM plugin as well, but I stuck with what works:
