I'm trying to import a kfx from my eink kindle into calibre (Windows 10) and the behavior is odd. I have both the kfx, Kindle Previewer app, and dedrm plugin installed.

With my device attached if I navigate within Calibre to Device and click on the book in question it gives me a locked with DRM message. If I navigate in Windows to the file in question and double click it Calibre processes it and puts it into a folder named "Unknown" on the Device (Kindle) and this file (kfx) is then able to be opened by the Calibre viewer. Within Calibre if I right click on this file though and try to send it to my Library it gives me the error that:

"The following books are in KFX format. KFX is a virtual book format, and cannot be transferred from the device ............... ".

So if I want to get this book into my Calibre Library in an azw3 (or epub) format how do I go about doing it, because if seems like if the Calibre viewer can open it that I should be able to add it to my Library. Thanks.
