reeedable · 05-14-2025, 04:34 AM

I just downloaded all my Kindle books (using the Kindle 2.4 for PC) and can import them into Calibre using the KFX Input and DeDRM plugins. Nice!

It works fine if I just import one book at a time by selecting the individual Kindle file from a folder (Kindle has 1 folder per book). The title is imported correctly.

But I have hundreds of books.

If I use the "multiple folder" Calibre option it also works in terms of importing them (they are readable, have a front page etc), but in Calibre the titles aren't correct - just a string of random characters.

Any tips on how to make this work (or is it a bug?)
