AZW3 Images dissapear when the book is added to the Calibre Library

AZW3 Images disappeared when book was added to the Calibre Library. There are small (4 bytes) files numbered like images (ie - 00001.unknown) in the miscellaneous section (when viewed with the calibre editor). The only actual image files are two JPGs, the cover in two different resolutions.

Windows 8.1
Calibre 2.43
DeDRM 6.3.3

I'll take a guess and say it's the same problem I noted here:

i.e., that it's really an AZW6 and not an AZW3 file. The work-around is to download the book from Amazon via Kindle for PC (or from an older Kindle (I'm using an old Kindle Touch that they haven't updated the firmware to yet to handle the format)) instead of the Kindle you're using, and import the book from there into Calibre.

I fixed the book by hand, importing the graphics and editing the name contained in the code to match.

Downloaded it for my Kindle Keyboard and it imported into my Calibre library perfectly, thanks for pointing me in the correct/successful direction. Much less time consuming than my method!
