I have the proper tools. 1.9. Shows installed and I added my k3's serial number.
The newest version of Calibre.

Maybe I've done something wrong (obvious). I was attempting to use the books that were directly downloaded to my k3. I created a folder on the desktop computer and copied the entire k3's documents folder. That I added the book to Calibre. That's the version I tried to convert.

I will try with the kinde-4-pc and download from the archive. But I was hoping to avoid yet another copy in yet another encryption.

Thanks.

Ah, the kindle-4-pc version worked fine. Maybe I was misinterpreting what I've read in various blogs and comments to the blogs. I thought I could use the version from the actual kindle and add/convert that one directly.

Thanks for being there and developing these wonderful, if questionable (by some) tools.
