Ah, that explains it! So when Amazon updates a book, I would need to delete the Calibre copy and re-import the new one (for drm removal, for instance), just as I did initially?
One problem I ran into was that the Amazon update changed the file extension, and DeDRM is unhappy with that, but that's an issue for a thread somewhere else.
Would you happen to know if Amazon maintains the Calibre copy's file name when it updates it (as long as the extension doesn't change)? My concern is that I wind up having multiple copies of the same file, etc. I guess I could just notice that I have 2 copies and delete one of them.
I was just curious how people handled this, as it seems as though it happens frequently. I only have 30 purchased books on Amazon, and 4 of them have updates available. I used to just ignore them, but once I saw they added Real Page Numbers and really expanded the XRay info for Game of Thrones. They never tell you in advance what they're actually updating. A recent one (to "Feed") changed the extension and enhanced some font capability or something (and I'm not sure I'm as concerned with those types of updates).
Thanks! Calibre is awesome, by the way!!
