For Blinq, error opening books on a kindle

Josieb1 · 11-16-2014, 03:49 AM

Blinq you sent me this message but I can't send you a message back so I've replied by this thread instead. Others might be able to help as well once we know what your doing although if it's about DRM striping we can't help in this thread. I'm not sure why I can't pm you but it maybe you have posted enough yet.

"there is also something else i would like to ask, while i'm having you, because you have all these different devices. i have a lot of ebooks that i can't open on my kindle. i've tried to convert them through calibre 2.9 with a DeDRM plug in 6.0.9 but can't open them. is there anything that i'm doing wrong or that i could try? it would make my kindle so limited if i couldn't read any of these books on it...
thank you so much!

My reply

Before I can help I need to know the following.

A) the original format of the books
B) the format you are putting on your kindle
C) the error message your getting when you try to open them
D) what you are doing in Calibre?
E) how are you getting those books on the kindle

Kindles only take mobi or AZW/AZW3 files. You have two options to get books on your kindle.

1) You sideload, which is add your books via USB. You can load them directly on the kindle with copy and paste but I don't do that so you need to read the Amazon help pages to know exactly where to put the books. What I do is to use Calibre to sideload my books, using Send To Device and I always send mobi files.

2) You can email your books to your Kindles email address which can be found in the settings on your kindle, or in Mange Your Devices on the Amazon web site. I use the program Send To Kindle which is download from the Amazon web site and loaded on my PC, with that each book is done one at a time, with plain email I think you can do up to 25 books in one email. If Amazon don't like your first sent by email they reject the book.

You can only email mobi though, you can sideload via USB mobi or AZW/AZW3.
