Thank you for the response. I googled for answers to my questions before I posted here. As you say, I am supposed to be able to get azw3 files if I download book files from amazon via USB into the Paperwhite. What is the exact procedure for this?
Is the following correct?
1. Go to my Content and Devices on Amazon.
2. Connect Kindle via USB to Mac.
3. Choose book file to be downloaded and choose "transfer via USB"
4. azw(3) file gets downloaded into Kindle
These are the methods I have been using:
My 1st Method:
1. I go to Content and Devices in my Amazon account.
2. I download book files to my Mac. The files go into my Mac's Download folder. Until recently the downloaded files were azw or azw3. Now I can get only kfx files.
3. I connect my Kindle to my Mac via USB and drag the book files into my Kindle.
My 2nd Method:
Buy a book through Amazon and wirelessly download straight into the Kindle. Same as above: I used to get azw or azw3 files, now all kfx.
My 3rd Method:
Launch Kindle Application 1.17.10 and download books from Amazon through Kindle App. Book files can be found in Application Support/Kindle/Kindle Content and are azw, but titles are missing from file names.
