I've been "Canceling"

I checked other .tpz files. They all show as tpz and behave the same when I try to read them in calibre.

I can read other books in my library that are not tpz format.

Ideas about what's happening and how I can read tpz formatted books in calibre?

Using Calibre 2.3 OSX 10.9.5
I do not believe you will get much satisfaction from trying to read .tpz files in Calibre. As I understand it they basically just consist of a set of scanned images of pages so are not readily convertible to any other format.

I am not sure if the Kindle app for PC/Mac can read such books. I would have thought it could as .tpz is an Amazon format.
