New Kindle Paperwhite Signature Edition and Calibre
I am about to purchase a new Paperwhite Signature edition and then started worrying....after all that Amazon has done to disrupt our Calibre usage, will I still be able to download amazon ebooks that I already have on my Calibre?
I know this sounds simple, but I am worried . I have many wonderful books from many years on my calibre on my pc and hope I will still be able to get to them! ![]() I am sure most members here know the answer to my question and please answer if you will.....will I still be able to transfer my amazon book files through calibre to my new kindle? Or should I just cancel ordering this newest signature edition? Last edited by Kaysclie; 07-11-2025 at 08:40 PM. Reason: added question |

Currently kindles support side loading DRM-free ebooks through calibre. Will this continue? Perhaps that is best posed on the Calibre board.

Only DRM free ebooks (PDF, Topaz, mobi/azw/KF7, dual mobi, azw3/KF8, KFX and some others.
Calibre is not needed if they are already DRM free. The azw3/KF8 is usually closest to what was uploaded to Amazon by a publisher and closest to epub you convert with Calibre, so in that respect is best. Last edited by Quoth; 07-12-2025 at 11:23 AM. |

I am not sure I understand what you are asking. I have all my Kindle books in Calibre, but I do not use Calibre to put them on my Kindle. I just download them from Amazon over wifi. I have tried to sideload some books bought from other stores to my Kindle Colorsoft from Calibre and I can read them fine but the covers do not show. So I use Send to Kindle to get other books on my Kindle.
Actually, I have gotten to the point that I only read Amazon books on my Kindle and everything else on my Nook. But I love having multiple readers to play with. |
