Okay, by reading the first post here I was able to find another way to download the AZW3 book to my computer (since I own a couple of Paperwhites). But I can't find a way to open or convert that book to EPUB (for my preferred reading program on my iPhone - I kind of hate Kindle) as it's digitally protected. I've done this a ton of times in the past but this isn't working now - did something change? (I've been away from Calibre a LONG time - long story but medical issues have kept me from even trying to buy eBooks for a few years).

I'm using Calibre 2.83, if that matters.

Edit: Okay, I tried downloading the latest DRM removal plugin (which is on my old version of Calibre but who knows how old that version of the plugin is) and installed it into Calibre 5.21 (on my laptop computer - wife must have had it there) and still no luck with these books. Any advice other than giving up?

Edit2: Okay, I should probably just delete this response but maybe it will help others. First post in this thread gave me the info to download the book to my Paperwhite via USB. Took the file and put it into Calibre with the DRM removal program but didn't realize I needed to enter the SSN of my Paperwhite(s) into the plugin. Now all is well and I can convert to a format I LIKE (Epub - works across ALL my preferred readers). Thanks to this forum and the writer of the DRM plugin!
