Question Hi, Folks
Hello there. I just started using Calibre 3.0 and am having trouble with even the most basic steps.

If anyone could tell me how to add Kindle books to Calibre, I'd appreciate it..

I tried adding books through files listed in the "My Kindle Content" folder of Kindle for PC, but there seem to be two folders for each Kindle book and I can't get Calibre to add them.

Thanks for any help you can give this newbie!

Hi

AFAIK you'll need to downgrade your Kindle for PC app to a version that still downloads AZW, which is a single file. Try searching for 1.17. Uninstall whatever you currently have, install the older version in it's stead and keep hoping Amazon doesn't disallow repeating the above whenever they force a new update.

Welcome to MR!

Edit: Others report being able to force more recent app versions to download AZW by disabling or removing "rendering-test.exe" from User\AppData\Local\Amazon\Kindle\application. You may want to try it first.

The easiest way is to simply go to your manage my content page on amazon.com and download the book from there. You will get a single file you can easily add to calibre.
