- I then installed Kindle 1.23 and followed the instructions for Method 2. I cleared the Kindle downloads, redownloaded a few books (by right-clicking and selecting 'Download') and dropped them into Calibre where they were readable. I then installed Kindle 1.26.1, repeated the chmod -x command and downloads and confirmed that redownloaded books were again readable.
- I then upgraded to macOS Catalina, again cleared the Kindle downloads, redownloaded a few books and dropped them into Calibre where they were readable.
Hope this helps. |
I'm trying to work up enough courage to try this before updating to Catalina. But I'm puzzled about the download instructions. When I've bought a book and opened Kindle for Mac, it automatically downloads the book to the Kindle library. Calibre automatically picks it up from that folder and adds it to my Calibre library. I don't see anything in any Kindle for Mac menus that allows me to change this behavior so that I can control the download of the book.
