I have just tried to download a book for conversion via Calibre software but the download keeps failing with an Apache error saying the request string is too long (Error code 400 with a load of associated text). This has happened with both Chrome and Firefox browsers. Clearing the cache via CCleaner made no difference. Amazon also asked me to sign in when I clicked on the download button despite already being signed in (otherwise I wouldn't have been able to see my Kindle library!). Is this an Amazon fault that I will just have to wait for them to fix or is there a workaround?
