It's okay, *I'M* sorry. I'm just really full of frustration right now and kind of touchy. My daughters (18) didn't even want ereaders, I forced them onto them. So that I can't get this to work is just another reason for them to glare at me and say "See?"

Like it would be the first time, lol!

Since we don't, I think it's safe to say that your unfortunate experience is unlikely to be repeated if you do give it a go.
If you have the time, an email to Kindle customer services complaining about the behaviour of recent Kindles with side-loaded ebooks might be in order.

You're right. It's not just the "Calibre may cause problems" issue (although as you say "once bitten"), it's also my kids are not computer literate (I know, they're weird). I can't get them to listen to me on how why to install Itunes (they don't have Apple products either. Again, weird), let alone an ebook program.
I think I will call Amazon, though, because I can't get sideloaded converted AZW3 files to show up on their homepage when I load them.
