These two quotes don't match up. You downloaded the all of the books from Amazon? In the first quote, you said they were AZW. In the second quote, you said ePub. Amazon doesn't sell ePubs, and calibre isn't going to convert a file without you either telling it to do so, or your uploading it from calibre to an ePub reader.
