Roger Cavanagh · 09-01-2014, 06:34 AM

I am running OSX Mavericks 10.9.4.

Having upgraded this morning, Calibre is crashing frequently—not at start up, but after a few operations. Haven't noticed a real pattern except I have been accessing preferences a lot, which brings me to the second problem.

Conversion of AZW files from Amazon Kindle books now gives DRM protection messages. I have installed the latest version of Alf's Tools, but this has had no effect.

The next step, I guess, is to try a complete reinstallation, but I'm not sure how I can do this without jeopardising the existing library and, particular, all the meta data that I have added.

Please can someone advise best process.

Regards,

Roger
