Thanks for that.

I'm hoping it will be somewhat easier.

In the past I've done it many times. I don't have a Kindle - I have Kindle for the PC or whatever they call it.

I've been using Calibre and Kindle for years. My use is small scale, desultory. Sometimes nothing for six months.

I think I remember the 'new' Kindle thing - that'd be the KFX you mention perhaps?

I had to get a special old version of Kindle to download and I had to get the Calibre plugin.

I did both and all went well.

But then I thought there was an update to Calibre that made it not necessary to do all that?

I've now got the latest Calibre, as of this morning, and probably the latest Kindle, also as of this morning when I bought that book.

Do you have any more clues for me or I've got to read that thread? What about what I said, is it back to that old procedure again?

Or is it all something new?

edit: well I put up an old version of kindle and got that book this time as an azw or something and i could read the title (in kindle). so I asked Calibre to get it and first up it said it was already there ( I failed to empty the direcctory of all those books with the cryptic titles) and then it aborted saying that it was an 'amazon topaz' book and couldn't be processed.

this is not looking good.
