eBooks form WindowsApp "Kindle for Win8"

Rabe · 08-08-2015, 08:39 AM

Hello,

since a few weeks i have the problem that my "KindleforPC" cannot establish a connection to Amazon.

The support tells me, i must install the Kindle app from the Windows Store.

In this app the ebooks are stored in the directory:
C:\users\username\AppData\Local\Packages\AMZNMobil eLLC.KindleforWindows8_stfe6vwa9jnbp\LocalState\ca che\

Each ebbook has its own directory with hundreds of files named "1.fragment", "2.fragment" and so on.

Calibre is not able to import these fragmented ebooks.
What can i do to add and use my ebooks in calibre?

Greetings
Ralf

Install the latest Kindle for Windows app v1.12.0 (40963).
It works even with Windows 10.

Since Amazon makes it hard to find, that would be: http://amzn.com/kindlepcdownload

The Metro Kindle app is garbage. Install the Windows Desktop program that was linked above.
