Importing books
How do I import all the books listed in my Amazon book content page to caliber? I have lots of books that I have purchased but aren't on my Kindle Fire so I can't import from my Kindle.

The Kindle Fire isn't a Kindle. It's a sort of Android Tablet called a Fire, only briefly and confusingly called a Kindle Fire. I know how to do this for a real Kindle (eink), but not a Fire.

Is there no send to Device or Download for USB options in your content list of ebooks?

Fire tablets will be shown as targets for Download & Transfer via USB on Amazon's website. However it will not be possible to remove DRM from any books that have it, likely most of them, because the key used for DRM is not accessible for those devices.

Your best alternative at this point is described in this thread: DRM workaround: Kindle for Android

First off you need to use Calibre and not Caliber.

Then you need to read the threads of DeDRM, Kindle app for Windows/Mac, changes at Amazon for downloading eBooks, and using an Android emulator and an old Kindle .apk.

Give it a rest Jon, Spell checks can flag the non-US spelling.

The misspelling breaks searches.

Not helpful and outright hostile to a new member.

If we are going to be specific, it is calibre with a lower case c.

As for the spelling breaking searches, the last search I did with caliber ebook gave me results for calibre.

Jon seems to determined to live down to the curmudgeon label he applied to himself.
