I thought that it could contain the kindle for pc or Kindle Previewer 3 (3.91.0) libraries that can be used in linux.

Converting to KFX from another format uses the KFX Output plugin, not KFX Input. It does require that Kindle Previewer be installed and working, but does not need Kindle for PC.

Some people have reported being able to get specific versions to run under Wine. See the Installation section in the first post of the KFX Output thread for details. If you do manage to make it work please provide details of how you did it and I will update the instructions for Linux users. Sorry, but I cannot help beyond that.

Have a kfx file importing as kfx-zip. Says decryption succeeded and then starts processing containers and one line I see says:

Exception: Book is incomplete. All of the KFX container files that make up the book must be combined into a KFX-ZIP file for successful conversion. (Missing containers CR!20YE8Z24YH5Z19FFWJJB25N0G9XE, CR!8Z2PAMAFR97CSCESJ53SF77WK13J)

What is interesting is that those two containers listed are not the 2 containers that are in the folder with the azw file. Is it common for CR! files that are in the folder call other containers that are not in the folder?

edit: forgot to say downloaded using k4pc 2.4.0 (70904)
