KFX help needed - book unknown

Good Day,

I really hope you can help me since I am quite new on using Calibre or other similar programs. I recentrly purchased several ebooks on Amazon to read using the Kindle app, but I would like to rename the files since I have a personal method. In order to do so, I downloaded Calibre after checking in the Internet, installed the KFX plugins and connected my Android device to the computer. All is OK, all my personal files are shown, but for most of the books from Amazon the metadata are probably non recognized by Calibre - the title is just a strange text string and the author is Unknown. The file format is KFX.

Since I live in Italy, I also changed the metadata source from US to Italy but nothing changed.

Am I doing something wrong? Any help is appreciated. In any case please note my target is to rename the books, so if there is any quicker/easier method to manage the KFX files and change the book name, I am also fine.

Many thanks.

Renaming files is unlikely to accomplish your goal, whatever it is. Perhaps you should state what you are trying to accomplish.

In any case the approach you are pursuing is not going to work. Kindle for Android downloads most books in KFX using DRM that is not currently removable.

The first post in the thread Dealing with Kindle for PC/Mac 1.19 and KFX in calibre enumerates the methods that can be currently used to obtain Kindle ebook files in a usable format.
