Duplicating One Book on Import

[Beachdaze]

Using Kindle for PC (Version 1.17.0 (44170)). I download my purchases as usual from the Kindle store to the PC app. All e-books are in this one folder - no subfolders and all are "azw" files.

Using Calibre 3.16 (64bit).

My usual procedure is to go to "Add Books" -> "Add books from directories, including sub-directories (Multiple books per directory, assumes each e-book file is a separate book).

The import window will pop up after it scans the "My Kindle Content" folder, and I'll hit the "Select Folder" button.

I select the "NONE" option on import where it states that "Duplicates are found". As I understand it, this should not import any books that are already in the "My Calibre Library" folder.

This works for every azw file but one. Every time I add a new book from the Kindle Library and run the import, this book, and only this book, is imported as well. I noticed this when my book count was off by 5 at one time. It had imported this book 4 extra times.

Right now it's not a major deal, as I know every time I import books, I just delete the extra copy.

So, am I doing the import incorrectly? Do I have a bad azw file for this one book (I have removed it from my Kindle downloads, and redownloaded it)?

I appreciate any assistance. If this subject has been discussed in another thread (I searched but didn't find anything) just point me to that thread.

Many thanks!

Check your metadata by doing this:

[1] Delete any books that have no formats. Search for: Formats:False

[2] Do a Library > Library Maintenance Check Library, and then repair any issues it may find.

[3] Verify your Preferences > Adding Books > Automatic Adding settings.

Thanks for the tips. I will try this when I get home from work.
