Thanks, appretice alf worked for some of them but not all.
My books download straight to kindle via the cloud and work, I can open and read them. However I want to add them to my kindle using calibre to organise the books instead of downloading from the cloud. I like them i order and with all the metadata which I don't have if I download from the cloud.

a simple test as to whether the books are actually "protected" is to try to open one with calibre. you'll get an error message if its protected.
another test is to email one of them to your current kindle account & see if it appears on the new PW
Are we talking here about books that you personally purchased. if so you should anyway be able to re-download them direct from amazon.
if the books are actually "registered to another user" then you will need to find out who that is. Alf's tools will not work unless you can get the books to be owned by yourself on your PC before starting e.g. within a registered Kindle for PC
But if "registered to another" then they could not have worked on your old device, unless that was registered o the same person. Are you sure you've not had more than 1 amazon account in the past, because that could explain things.
have you tried adding the problem books to an install of Kindle for PC , with that program registered to yourself ?
depending how the answers to the above play out - you may want to migrate this to the Kindle forum. it is unlikely to e a calibre issue per se.
PS log in to amazon - navigate to "manage my kindle" - it will display a complete list of all the books you have bought , including free ones. Match that to what you have in calibre.....
alo, read this + browse similar posts on Amazon forum. it COULD be that sideloading of procected books is NOT allowed on the newest Kindles in which case you will just have to do it their way or via Alf.s work-arounds.
