Thanks, Brian

I don't think I have two accounts - I started with Amazon several years ago before they had Amazon Australia, but have bought from Amazon Australia. And the emails they sent me after my initial purchases went to the same email address as the one from this afternoon's purchase. And I signed in with the same email address and password.

As mentioned in my last post I went to the Amazon store and the initial page to try to download from there again. Still the same message that the ebooks had been downloaded to my Kindle without them appearing on the Kindle.

The end result seems to be that Amazon will not permit me to download ebooks to my computer, and won't permit me to buy ebooks by going to the store through my computer. But they will permit me to buy ebooks directly from the Kindle. This makes no sense at all to me.

I've bought the other two ebooks that I wanted - they are on my Kindle. I want to get them into my calibre library. I don't know calibre any better than I know Amazon; is there a way of getting the ebooks into calibre directly from the Kindle? I suppose this is a calibre forum question more than a Kindle forum question.
