I'm beginning to despise Amazon all over again.

I am in the process of downloading my extensive Kindle library (a bit OCD about my books, don't trust Amazon to not f*** up) again! Anyway, I've gone through a couple of steps to get where I am in the process. I use the latest version of Kindle for Windows which I have made my default device. Next, I use Epubor to convert the downloaded book to EPUB. I add those EPUBs to Calibre. (That's the short version.) After trying to do the downloads directly in Kindle for Windows (search, mark, download), I thought a better way to do it was to use Content and Devices (search, send to device) which seemed to be working. Now, I find that Select All and Deliver to aren't exactly working (I look for "in 1 Device to confirm that books were delivered. And, for the past couple of days, I am getting a message when I try to select a page of books and try to send them to my default device: Request did not process. Please try performing the operation again. Where the bulk download is giving me grief, I can download the books one at a time or in small (3 book) batches.

I don't know where to post this (other than here). Any advice? I'd like to know why this is happening.
