Hello, I had recently gotten a book from Amazon that came in .azw4 format. (I actually don't know what the 4 means, and I have tried looking it up to no avail.)

After I had used a deDRM program, the program yielded a .mobi file, which I thought to be perfectly normal. However, I can only open this file on Kindle for PC. I've sent it to my iPad and the Kindle app basically crashes every time I try to open it. I've tried converting it to other formats in Calibre, but it fails or claims to have completed the job (when in reality, the finished product is only two pages long, out of the 500+ pages)

I've tried searching through these forums for anybody that had a similar issue, and I've tried looking through FAQs as well, but I haven't found anything yet.

Thanks for the help
