I have tried to Add Books to my Calibre library, and choose the _EBOK files...but when I open them farther, none of the sub-folders are there. When I go to Calibre and open them I just get a message saying it can't be opened.

Is there a step I have missed? Or a way to put them right from Kindle to Calibre without going through my computer?
Here is what I do ti identify a specific book:
1) Open the book in KFPC, move a page fwd or back, then view (go back) the Library again. This sets the date Modified in explorer.
2)View (explorer), My Kindle content. Sort by date modified (latest on top), note the funny name. Now finf a 'kindle content' with the same name.
Drag and drop that into Calibre

If you see a folder with that name , calibre can't handle that. See forum threads on how to restrict that format
