What does that have to do with the plugin? This is a conversion problem...

If you need to DeDRM your book so you can convert it, I suggest googling "apprentice alf" for help. (MR has a policy against giving guidance and support for DRM removal but we can tell you that.)

I'm sorry if I made myself unclear but I have downloaded Calibrie as well as the plug ins. When I attempt to customize the plug in it does not show that my kindle registration # was accepted. I did not know it was against policy.

I'd suggest rereading the help docs for the plugin. Most plugins will have a Help link somewhere (and this one probably

does too).

If that fails, check the FAQs on the site you got the tools from. Or ask for further help there.
