As for the FSDownload title, adding AZW3 as the file type does let it import into my favorite desktop ebook software with plugins, and in that software is has the correct book title instead of "fsdownload". But I can not open it, or change the format due to DRM. All the other downloads from Amazon I was successful in changing the format, including 3 other books that downloaded as fsdownload without a file extension type. So there is something about this particular book that does not let me get around the DRM, and I have downloaded it multiple times on different days. I suppose I could try again on a windows machine instead of my MAC. I was hoping to avoid accumulating a collection of purchased books that I can not change the format to suit the reader of my choice.
