After that, I could never get Calibre to read the backup file (of course, I had upgraded to version 7 already, just figured out that was part of the problem this week).

I have followed the directions to install Bluestacks (X and 5 come together) - the latest version. Installed the old version of Kindle for Android and was able to log in. Found the port number in the .conf file and used adb to connect just fine. When I try to run the adb backup command - it tells me to allow the backup, but nothing popped up for me to allow the backup.

Having read through much of this post, I then tried to install Nox - the 32-bit (which would not run on Windows 11), uninstalled, and then the 64-biit (which also would not run on windows 11 and I uninstalled as well).

So, I am somewhat stuck. Reading through the post, I did not find other ideas that made sense to me. I have a programming background, so technology is my thing. I use Kindle for PC for most books...but with more and more books not downloading on the older K4PC version, I have found that 99% of them successfully download on the Android version.

Would I be better off going back to the latest version of Calibre before 7? Or do you suggest something else? It feels like I am just one small step away from getting this to work. Story of life with technology, I know!

Thanks in advance for any suggestions.
I have nox running on a windows 11 system (on a lenovo tiny pc), so nox can run on win 11. Doesn't help your problem, just saying it's not win 11 that's the issue.
