Hello,

At wits end so hoping someone here has a suggestion. I'll try to give a detailed explanation:

Windows 7 (64), installed calibre (64), then the DRM removal plugin. Installed kindle reader (older v1.24.3) and downloaded books.

Restarted Calibre and they read in fine. DMR automatically removed it seemed. I did some conversion-to-mobi tests and that was working, but lead me to realize that some wouldn't work because they are .kfx-zip encoded.

So I downloaded a plug-in for that, and I deleted all the books from Calibre and read them in again. But now the book titles did not come through; instead they were the kindle folder names (e.g. B01069X4H0 EBOK). I was not sure what was wrong, so I essentially started over...

I uninstalled calibre, removed all my downloaded books from kindle. Re-D/L'd them, installed calibre, installed the DRM plugin, as well as the .kfx-zip plugin, went to Calibre to load the books, and now I get neither a Title (still says folder name) or Author (says "Unknown").

Plus, the cover art doesn't come in either, and I do not think it is removing DRM anymore (after loading, the "Formats:" on the right side say "AZD, MD". In fact, I'm sure it is not removing either DRM or KFX-ZIP...

Can anyone tell me what steps to take to fix this? And should the KFX-ZIP decoder (KFX Input.zip) automatically remove the protection just like the DRM one?

Thank you!
