I was using Kindle unpack to convert amazon files to epub but my reader didn't like it much (although I have a new one now so maybe that's changed). Even though I could see the epub was fine in Calibre it wouldn't open on my reader. I found that if I convered .azw3 to mobi and then converted to epub from the mobi file just using the standard convert button in Calibre it worked fine. Perhaps a little more unwieldy but I was happy enough and I never had trouble getting books on my reader. But suddenly there are a subset of the .azw3 files which are converting to epub strangely.
Um.. don't do that. It makes a right mess of things. Mobi is obsolete and going KF8 > Mobi > ePub is a rather bad idea.

Validate the code means opening the eBook in the Calibre eBook editor and validating the code and then fixing anything found. I should then work on your Reader.
