To re-download a book into the current version of the Kindle App on Windows, you do this:
- open the app
- go to the Library
- right click on the book
- select "remove from device"
- right click on the book again
- select "download"

Alternatively, you can just delete the contents of your Kindle books folder, which is specified in Tools / Options / Content and then download again.

The serial number "B00..." is irrelevant. That's just the ASIN that Amazon has assigned to the book. It has nothing to do with whether or not the DRM can be removed.

Thanks. You couldn't be more clear!!

On the book I tried, I was able to re-download following your instructions. Calibre removed automatically the DRM, as expected, but the conversion to PDF failed. It happeneda few times. I can't understand why.
Anyway for the momemnt I am off the hook, because I found in ther USB drive a backup of the same book files already converted to PDF a few years ago, I had forgotten about.

Thanks
