I'm assuming that the EPUB library books expire just like the Kindle ones, so they must have DRM that needs to be removed before converting to AZW3.

In Calibre the book is listed twice. One showing EPUB, MOBI, and the other showing EPUB, AZW3. I've tried emailing both of these, but it always fails.

Any help will be appreciated.
Can you open either or both of the epubs in Calibre? If not, there's a failure in decryption. I personally download books to ADE and then import them into Calibre; there's also a plug-in that skips that step but still requires ADE authorization.

If the epubs open in Calibre, then the issue is at the Amazon end. Amazon doesn't accept epub3 IIRC; convert it to epub.

Oho, rereading your post I wonder if the issue is that you're emailing the AZW3 files? Won't work; STK is epub only. I assume you've authorized your email. There's no reason to convert the files to AZW3.

That's not helpful. The solution is trivial and no one is going to abandon a new Kindle in order to read a few OD books.
