I have Calibre 07.35 and I think it's excellent for managing my books. However, I do have a problem:

I can upload books from my Kindle (3) to the Calibre library for organising, editing metadata and whatnot, but if I send them back the Kindle from the Calibre library, they won't open on the Kindle. I get a 'Cannot open: This book is licensed to another user' error message when I try to read the book.

I think this must be due to the DRM that comes with Kindle books, but then, I'm not using Calibre to convert the files, only to store and organise them. It makes no sense if every time I add a book to the Calibre library, it means I can't open it when I send it back to the kindle. I'm sure I have missed something very basic.

What am I doing wrong?
