Calibre will not accept these files. Am i doing something wrong, or do i need another program to convert these files into something Calibre will accept?

any suggestions or advice as to where i go from here will be greatly accepted/

regards

You have to un-RAR the files before you add them to Calibre. RAR is just a compression container, like a Zip file but with a different algorithm. You need to use a program like WinZip or WinRar to extract the contents first, and then add those to Calibre.
