Preparation to (maybe) do it later is preparation wasted... this scenario where you have to re-download everything is a perfect example of that.
Ok. Thanks for the info. To this point, I've basically been lazy with my Amazon purchases thinking I can always go back and get them.

My work flow needs to be modified. I do the same thing with non-Amazon purchases except I skip the K4PC part and d/l to my computer, then import to calibre, which strips and imports in one shot, then convert and email to my K3 in another shot. It's really a painless process.
- buy book
- d/l to PC
- import into calibre
- convert and email to K3

For my Amazon books, I just d/l directly to my K3 (didn't even have K4PC installed.) Now it looks like I'll have to use K4PC and subsequently installed it yesterday getting the K4PC 2 which confused the heck out of me.
Former workflow
- buy Amazon book
- send to K3

New workflow
- buy book
- send to K4PC 2
- import to calibre
- email to K3

I'll have to temporarily move the 7 items currently d/l to my PC, d/l the rest and do an import into calibre before restoring those 7 items back to my storage folder. Some of them have some funky file names that don't relate to the content.
