Show Books in the Main Memory of the Device

j0hnUK · 08-23-2016, 08:24 AM

I've just installed Calibre and connected my Kindle Fire HD. I've clicked on "Show Books in the Main Memory of the Device" and it shows most of the books on my Kindle. However, there is at least one not showing, so I'm wondering if books are also stored elsewhere, and how to get Calibre to see them.

All the books, bar about 3, were downloaded from Amazon, either free or 99p jobs. There is at least one book from Amazon that isn't showing in Calibre.

Can I look in different locations using Calibre? I've used Windows to look in folders such as 'Books' , 'Documents' , and 'Kindle', but I can't find any files with the correct extension (AZW?), never mind the right book. In fact none of the files have the name of the book.

There was some discussion of finding books on Fire tablets in the "Fire 7" Tab (2015)" thread of the "Kindle Fire" forum.

Excellent, cheers. Installed Kindle for PC and it's done what I wanted to do.
