Been reading all these threads talking about problems/issues with the Fire HD. Really helped me decide definitively to not 'upgrade' to HD from my Fire. Doesn't appear that it would offer me anything new that would be useful -- just new problems/headaches that I solved/worked out in past years. caliber works to perfection with Kindle Fire for managing/transferring books from Kindle, both personal docs or books, directly to/from the Kindle itself and/or the My Kindle Content folder (including all DRM regardless of source) with one exception.

One issue to be aware of if you haven't already encountered it. If you transfer a personal document by 'Sent to PC' or email it will go to your Kindle Account Library and be assigned a special DRM that the plug-ins can't handle. Of course, you still have the original and can transfer it any where you want.
