Hi I am referring to the Kindle for pc.

The icons shown on files in Windows Explorer is the icon associated with program that Opens the file. The program you use to open a given file type is configured for your computer. So you might have your computer configured to open PDF files with Acrobat, hence your PDF files will show an icon something like this

You must think I am really thick lol. I know this about pdfs word docs mp3s etc that the program that opens them has its own icon.
But thought for some reason kindle files stayed blue. I don't understand why they will not open though when they are not.

I open PDF files with PDF xchange so my PDF files show an icon something like this

Of the 25 program icons I have on my task bar alone, 7 are predominantly blue. So describing things in terms of icon colours is not very helpful. Sorry This is what an AZW3 file looks like on my computer

Which is the same as what you posted before, its 'blank' because I haven't told Windows what program to use for opening AZW3 files - because I never wanted to open one from Windows Explorer.

The easiest way to add an AZW3 file to an existing book, that already has an ePUB is like this

A single book can have many different types of ebook format files, but only one of each ebook type - ie one ePUB, and one AZW3, and one PDF etc.

Now I am stuck here. Uploaded at clip of my calibre window. Where do I drag to, and also say I want to add a kindle file and an epub file of the same book will I have the title twice in my calibre list?
As I say I have had calibre ages
But only imported mainly epubs
Now I want to import a kindle book occasionally also.
