These turn up when I sync [but I also note an Amazon pop up saying that my K4.1.3 is so ancient it can't connect to the Store any-more. But I can buy book s with another more modern K and then d/l to my 4.1.3 ☺]

They then turn up - it seems - as DRMd .azw3 files. These can then be directly imported into Calibre - and if any have stupid long names remember to set the ENV variable to, say, D:\TMP, - then the usual plugins convert the files to Epub for backup.

This works with books published in June 2025, so now I have 3 ways to back stuff up.

Thanks for all the guidance.
Can you download that eBook with the long filename and see if it's an issue with temp in it's normal place? Thanks.
