Can't download
I just went to download some books and 3 of them say C/MAC error and the rest of the error message I can't read. But I think it's saying update PC?
The two books that have ticks indicating that they had downloaded, don't appear in the KindleContent folder. Does anyone know what's going on? I'm using Calibre 7.6 with all the latest updates, and Kindle app version 1.17.1 Each time I open Kindle it does ask me to upgrade to version 1.3 but for obvious reasons I don't want to. |

Kindle for PC 1.17 no longer downloads books published in 2023 and 2024. Read this post about downloading those:

It must be just newer ones that don't work? I downloaded some to the PC using send to USB and I can import these into Calibre as AZW3 files, but they won't convert. Any other ideas? Last edited by JollyRoger; 03-08-2024 at 05:48 AM. |

Right I have found a brilliant and foolproof way to DRM modern books. It's a slight faff on compared to just importing them to Calibre, but as that doesn't work anymore at least this does work so I don't mind doing the books 1 by 1.
Not sure if I can share the method here or not? |

OCR of photos of screen works on anything.

As to using Download & Transfer with USB, did you enter the Kindle serial number in the deDRM settings? |

I shall spend another hour reading and see if I can spot my mistake. One of the difficulties is that if there's a link to Github, I don't know how to download files from Github. There's only links to source code. Also there is no v2.3.1 to find that I can see. The nearest is 2.3.7 Last edited by JollyRoger; 03-08-2024 at 09:40 AM. |

The Github download link is on the right edge a bit down the page. Vanishes on older browsers or too aggressive script blocking. Current Firefox works.

Try re-downloading the books and checking your Kindle app's sync with your Amazon account.

Your link is to Amazon US, I'm in the UK. So it doesn't work but thanks for trying. |

Disable all script or ad blocking and use an up to date browser such as Firefox. The Amazon US link works in Ireland. I don't run windows, so I can't tell about the program. But it should be the same as this UK link. UK is default Amazon for Ireland, though USA or Germany works, depending on product. https://www.amazon.co.uk/kindlepcdownload/ Gives KindleForPC-installer-2.3.70682.exe You need also the download for NoDRM (might be link), which is here under Releases, where I wrote. |
