How to read e-book bought for Amazon Kindle for PC
Hi,
I have just registered on Amazon for the Kindle for PC app and bought my first DRM book. I didn't like the way the app displayed the book so my husband recommended Calibre, which he uses along with his physical Kindle device. I added the book to my Calibre library but it won't read the book, because of the DRM. My husband is able to read his DRM books OK. Please, does anyone know how to get Calibre to recognise my Kindle for PC registration? Thanks, Joan PS I have posted this to both the Kindle and Calibre forums since I don't know which would be best for my question. Sorry. Last edited by jedi44; 12-07-2012 at 07:24 AM.

Sorry to be a novice at this

I followed the Apprentice Alf recommendation for the Calibre plugins and I can read my protected books fine now, thanks. However, my husband installed them and tried to add DRM books from his Kindle. They still failed. Will the plugins only work when adding books from PC files rather than the Kindle device? |
