I use Calibre for my entire library. Most books I purchase I remove DRM and import them into Calibre. But some free books from Amazon are in Topaz format. I import them into Calibre anyway. I wanted to check whether I could send them to my kindle and then open them. It doesn't work. I can send books without DRM to my kindle, but the Topaz book didn't show up, even though Calibre said it sent it. I sent some books without DRM and they showed up fine. Is this normal behavior? And yes, I know I can remove the DRM from Topaz books, but it is not worth the effort for free books, and I don't buy Topaz books.

Thanks,
Debra
