I used Calibre to convert a few epub books to AZW3 format and saved them to Google drive. I then downloaded the files to my chromebook (Pixelbook). They appear as zipped files and a default unzipper opens them to three parts. I click on the largest, the text, but I can't open it (nor the others). I have the Kindle app and Kindle Cloud reader but see no option to get at the files on my chromebook. Right clicking does not help me. That results in a window that says select an app to open, no list, choice to go to chrome web store only (already have the Kindle apps).

The intent is to put them on my elderly mom's old Kindle keyboard when I visit. There is no internet there, no pc. Thus, the downloading to chromebook for transfer.

Can anyone help me to get to the files, or suggest a way to get them onto the Kindle?
