I'm also using ruby gems version 2.4.3 if that helps

I've also been seeing reports of this same error from reviewers of my book.

[miyagawa]

Same error with Ruby 2.1.1. Some debugging shows that the zip file structure has changed, and it doesn't create a sub directory anymore and it explodes kindlegen file in the current directory.

HEAD to the zip file URL shows Last-Modified: Tue, 11 Nov 2014 16:12:28 GMT and homebrew formula shows a different SHA1 as the current one (and brew install kindlegen fails with the SHA1 mismatch), so I'd say Amazon has overwritten the zip file with the different file structure in it.

[tdtds]

I just released 2.9.3.1, fixed error caused by changing amazon's zip format. thanks @miyagawa san!
It fails test yet on ruby 2.1.5, but works well.

[tdtds]

And released 2.9.4, fixed testing error on ruby 2.1.5

[radar]

Thank you very much @tdtds!

[jordanandree]

yes, thanks @tdtds. 2.9.4 is working perfectly for me now

[ExByt3s]

thank you @tdtds!
