I had to reformat my PC and re-install the latest Kindle app and latest Calibre. Everything broke. Before the reformat I was using those same latest versions of the software. So nothing was different with the software itself, only something in the preferences must be different. I can not figure it out.
When I use the Add Books button, and try to add the .azw file, Calibre obviously cannot read the file. It imports a file, but there is no information associated with it. No title, no metadata, no cover, no nothing.
I only use Calibre for library management. I don't convert books. I don't use the reader. I simply want a catalog of all of the kindle books that I read.
I feel like I've been having this same issue, groundhog day style, since 2012. Can someone help?
TLDR: How do I add books so that Calbre doesn't add garbage?
