Trying to convert a book from Amazon. I'm not sure what file format my Kindle 1.117 app downloads.


At first when converting the file to EPUB Calibre gave an error message that reads: The splits were too big for some EPUB readers, so I tried other file types, but the only thing that comes out right is the cover page. Other than that, instead of the text from the book, it's just pages upon pages of random characters, like when you try to open an image file with notepad.

Then I tried heuristics enabled but that didn't work, then I set the split size to the size of the whole file and I didn't get an error message but I did get the random characters.
