If I do the same with a Gen 12 KPW it has a very long file name - Gobbelino London & a Menace of Mermaids: Cats, snark, & dangerous waters - a complete funny, cozy urban fantasy series (Gobbelino London, PI Book 6)

If I set up Calibre with 'default' TMP dirs, I can happily import the K4.1.3 azw3 with the appropriate plugins.

Interestingly, once in Calibre, the books appears with the very long file name but still converts to Epub.

So in this case (and I've tried this with several very long file name books) using K4.1.3 bypasses the TMP dir issue.

So for the time being this allows me to backup my purchases.
Thanks and good to know you have a way around the long filename problem.
