Earlier I had posted about downloading books from Kindle using the USB method didn't always work for me. Most books downloaded ok, but a few downloaded with no extension and couldn't be imported into Calibre. It was suggested I try Chrome and that fixed the problem. All books downloaded with no problem.
Except for one little issue. When a user downloads using this method, he is presented with a dropdown box to select the device. For me, my Kindle Fire is always the first option, but usually I'd select my PW. When I failed to do that and the Fire option was used, Calibre couldn't convert the book because of DRM. I would then download the book again using the PW selection. This version Calibre could convert.
I convert all my books even if they are in the format I want because I want to include the metadata in the book.
This is probably old news to some of you, but thought I'd post it for those that don't already know about this.
