Hi, not sure I'm understanding all this. I'm running a Mac with Calibre 4.11.2 with the latest KFX plug in. The Kindle version is 1.25.2
Books from the Kindle directory (after download) can be added to Calibre but have the suffix kfx-zip. When I try to add them Calibre offers to convert them, I choose yes and then it says no suitable format for the device (Kobo Glow) and then as a final insult throws up a DRM message.
Do I just give up and buy a Kindle, and would Calibre convert my pub books to be read on the Kindle?
Help!
