HTMLZ conversion

bobade · 05-19-2020, 01:51 PM

I downloaded an HTMLZ book from Amazon onto Kindle for PC 1.16.0, and it looks fine on the Kindle application. However, when moving it into Calibre, so I can transfer it to my Kindle, all of the Greek text is corrupted. In fact, if I copy and paste from the text in the Kindle app, the result is the corrupted Greek in English letters, like this: `u-roKEZoOar'

Is there any way to move this file from the Kindle for PC app to Calibre, or to a Kindle other than through Amazon?

This will likely be a TPZ (topaz) file which your dedrm plugin is converting in htmlz. These kinds of files use individual images for characters, and as such dont convert well. If you can find a non-topaz source for the file it will convert better.
