I believe the creator of Calibre gave me a detailed step by step process on how to fix it. I'm also having issues with my kindle keyboard
battery discharging rapidly and may have to research how to replace the battery. Anyway, to read a book you won't run into any technical difficulties. The following video illustrates in general terms how technology can be frustrating.
But, have you ever set down a paper book for awhile and horrors, LOST YOUR PLACE? Then you have to hunt all around for where you last were in the book!

Ebooks mean never having to keep a bookmark handy....
