I am able to load it into Calibre and actually can View the book. BUT......
Once I edit any of the metadata into my preferred format, I no longer can view the book in Calibre and it will not convert so the metadata is saved.
My worry is that it's caught in the major glitch with Amazon's new format.... though I got the book from "elsewhere"
Suggestions????

Hmmm.... might I ask where you obtained a
legitimate epub copy of an Amazon book published after 2023-Jan-03? Inquiring minds are eager to know.
When you open the epub in calibre's editor, does it look like it was previously converted to epub by calibre? page-styles.css and entries in the stylesheet.css that start with .calibre for instance.
Since you can view the book, it does not have DRM. OTOH, since calibre's viewer is overly forgiving, the epub can be riddled with errors. I would suggest installing the epubcheck plugin for calibre's editor and running both calibre's builtin error check (the ladybug looking icon) and epubcheck and correcting any errors that show up. If the book was not previously converted with calibre, you can also try a epub to epub conversion.
