So I updated to the latest version of Calibre, updated to the 5.1 tools and added the plug-in--and STILL got error messages.

All the books had azw extensions. I changed them to mobi extensions, solely on a whim because I couldn't think of anything else to do, and then, lo and behold, Calibre converted them to epub. A few of them turned out to be topaz, but they too converted when they had the mobi extension.

This doesn't make any sense to me, especially since I didn't see anything about a problem with azw files in the readme files. Do I really need to change file extensions now? Weird.
I have been having to do this for the last couple of weeks.
