How to get sample from PC Kindle to Calibre?

terrypin · 01-19-2021, 02:03 PM

From Amazon's UK Kindle Store I've just chosen to sample a book on my iPad. I then used Send to Kindle in the iPad's Kindle app and it duly appeared in my PC Kindle.

How can I now get it to appear in Calibre on my PC please, so that I can then convert it to a format I could send to a friend. If I like the sample, as I fully expect, I'll then buy it and repeat the process and make a gift of it.

I've never downloaded a sample before, but I would think they're saved in the same place as full ebooks you download, (in Windows) drive:\Users\your username\Documents\My Kindle Content

Full ebooks are saved as .AZW files, samples probably are, too.

Just drag it from that folder and drop it in your Calibre and it should show up.
