I have Kindle 1.7 on machine A Win7 with Calibre 4.2.1, DeDRM 7.2.1.

I download a book and import it into Calibre. It shows up as AZW3. I can convert it to ePUB.

On machine B I have Calibre 5.23.0, DeDRM 7.2.1.

I copy the Kindle files to machine B Win10. I import it into Calibre. It shows up as AZW. I cannot convert it to ePUB because Calibre tells me it is DRM protected.

I am mystified as to why 5.23.0 does not recognise this as AZW 3 and thus DeDRM has not worked.
