This azw3 file from amazon kindle ebook, only through nodrm.

There should be no "ascii-codec" being used anymore. So do you get the same error running kindleunpack with python3 instead of python 2.X?

I tested nearly 100 different .azw3 files. Only one of them has this error message. I am sure that this file is only processed by nodrm and can be used normally by sending it to Kindle via USB.
Both python2 and python3, the same error.

I don't know if I can share this file.
