But when trying to open the book, I get a message stating it cannot be read since it is DRMed. I import this file into Calibre and this time the cover, title and author is correct. So, I tried the “download and transfer via USB”.

Today I bought a book which was delivered to my PC kindle as an. A bit of a ramble, sorry- but i hope the info helps.
I don’t know if link posting is verboten, so i don’t want to break any rules by posting one If you google it, it should be fairly easy to find a download. The Kindle for PC version that I’m using now, which is working, is “KindleForPC-installer-0”. But if I had to choose one, I’d pick the one where I could put all my ebooks. I admit though, I’ll often leave the kindle copy on the kindle app, and read with it as well- it really is a nice app. Now, I just convert any kindle copies I buy into epub, bc I like having my library all in one place.

The UB Reader Pro app allowed me to create and organize my library with bookshelves, but when I bought a kindle or an audiobook, they didn’t fit in that library, so I had to create a text document, tabled, with every title organized into those paradigms.
My ebook and physical libraries are organized on an OCD like level by genre, by region, then chronologically, and in the case of monarchies, by person and epoch (Most of my books are history related). When I started buying them, the bulk were epub format, and so I used an epub app (UB Reader Pro). The caveat being, I have about 4,000 ebooks on each device, stored on expandable memory.

The kindle for android app is free, and actually a very lovely app, feature wise, to read with. I don’t have a kindle- I have a Samsung Galaxy Tab E (10”), and a Lenovo Yoga Tab 3 (10′), that I use for ereading. My advice is to find a copy of the older version, and back it up, so you’ll have it in the future for re-installing, if need be. I’m currently using an older version, and it works fine with Calibre. I was aware there were compatibility issues with the new Kindle for PC version, but wasn’t aware what they were. If you found this post worth reading and want to kick in a buck or two to the author, click of the Mind: Update: In a comment, Steve notes you can also download AZW files by going to your “Manage Your Content and Devices” page, then clicking on the “…” button next to the title you want and selecting “Download & transfer via USB.” Even if the Kindle device you choose is a newer model, it still sends you the. Meanwhile, I suppose we can hope that Calibre adds the ability to read KFX files sometime soon. But even if Amazon stops, those who own older Kindle hardware devices will still be able to obtain AZW-format ebooks via the expedient of downloading them to the Kindle then copying them across via USB. It’s unclear how long Amazon will support these older versions, or that they’ll be available for download.

Once you have, go to the Tools menu, then Options, then General and uncheck the box to install updates automatically-and then just don’t update. The only way to resume being able to convert downloaded Kindle content is to uninstall Kindle for PC, then reinstall Kindle for PC version 1.17, currently accessible via this link (or this one for the OS X version). Instead, it uses the new KFX ebook format-which nothing else can read or convert right now. It turns out that the new version of Kindle for PC, 1.19, no longer uses the AZW ebook format that Calibre knows how to read. Even though it’s DRM-free, when I dragged and dropped the file from my “My Kindle Content” directory across to Calibre, it couldn’t figure out what to do with the file.Ī little detective work turned up this Mobileread forum thread. I noticed it myself when I was trying to add a DRM-free title I just bought, Bone Dance by Emma Bull, to my Calibre library. Things just got a little harder for folks who like to store their Amazon purchases in Calibre. So, there may no longer be any need to use these workarounds. Update, 4/5/18: I just noticed a post in a MobileRead thread indicating that there are now Calibre plug-ins available for handling KFX.
