ERROR: Could not open ebook

Hello,

I imported an .AZW file in Calibre but when I wanted to view it, I received the following message:

Code:

calibre, version 2.63.0
ERROR: Could not open ebook: Failed to read book, [my-path]\my-book.azw click "Show Details" for more information

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "site-packages\calibre\utils\ipc\simple_worker.py", line 274, in main
  File "site-packages\calibre\ebooks\oeb\iterator\book.py", line 62, in extract_book

  File "site-packages\calibre\ebooks\conversion\plugins\mobi_input.py", line 33, in convert
  File "site-packages\calibre\ebooks\mobi\reader\mobi6.py", line 79, in __init__
MobiError: Unknown book type: '\x02\xa2\x81\xc4\xde\x02\x9d\x8c'

Please advise, thank you!

I think this is one of those new type protected books.
If your Kindle app updates(past 1.17) , you may get this type.
There are threads on things to try. then you need a new download of the book.
