As I am new to the forum and this is my first post, please excuse if this is not the correct place to start a thread with my problem. I was success ful in getting a book from Gutenberg into Calibre. However, after I tethered my Kindle to my PC, and used "send to device" in Calibre, the book was sent to my Kindle and I was feeling good about seeing it arrived on my Kindle, however when I clicked to open it, I get the message" unable to open item, If you purchased it from Amazon, delete the item and download it from the cloud on home".
I have used the above procedure in transferring book from Gutenberg, to my Kindle via Calibre, and never had a problem in opening it.
This the first time I have seen the "unable to open" message.Please can someone help? I am using a 10th generation Kindle Paperwhite.
