So with a fresh re-install of Calibre, I have come to the conclusion that while some azw3 files open just fine with all of the patches and plugins; there are some stubborn files that refuse to give up their drm.

I'd like to be able to enjoy my books all through Calibre, so they're all neatly on the same "bookshelf", but these few are just getting under my skin.

Is there some new form of encoding or are these files simply evil?

I thought it had to do with the release date of the newer files - but some azw3 files that were released two weeks ago work fine, while the ones released back in Nov 2011 - Jan 2012 refuse to open.

Was there some experimental encoding going on during this time window, or am I simply doing something improperly?
