Hello All,

This is REALLY getting 'interesting' now, I tried the following:

"Try along the lines of toomanybooks advice but you will likely have a problem searching for the book itself that way as Amazon use file names with no meaning for most books (e.g. along the lines of the likes of B01BW5SFZ6_EBOK.azw). So search for My Kindle Content or azw, not the book name. If not known how to do so, and apologies for my over describing if you do, place the mouse cursor tight into the bottom right hand corner of the screen, move the cursor straight up the edge and select the magnifying glass then Files, and then in the text box type the word or words you want to search for." I tried this method..performed search, nothing found..I can easily view my purchased book, 'Top 100 Tips For Windows 8' using the Kindle for PC Windows 8 Version, when I click on the tile on the 'start' screen, the application opens up correctly, I'm then given three choice's...
Cloud..Device..Kindle Store . I can choose either the 'cloud' or 'device' option, and my book will be displayed.

" Swipe from the right, search for the file, right click on it and open in file location. Then drag it into calibre. " I also tried this method, no luck..is my windows 8 pro laptop 'possessed' or something ??

Thanks,
David
