Thank you to everyone who has replied to my post. I’m sorry if I was being rather slow but it is years since I set up my Kobo One and I’m completely out of touch with anything that’s happened since with regard to formats and updates.
Thanks again, this forum is fantastic with so many kind, knowledgeable and patient members. |

Sorry everyone I'm back again.
I bought a gen 4 Kindle and successfully registered it to my Amazon account. I purchased a book from Amazon (not KU), used the browser on computer and Download via USB to download the file to my computer but there is no extension to the file and Calibre won't recognise it, what do I do next please. Hopefully there's an solution - the book is newly published so guessing this is the reason, although I've never used this method to get a book into Calibre before, just synced to Kindle4Mac and dragged the download into Calibre. Any ideas please. |

This is a known quirk with Safari browser, sometimes messes up the extension. (Has nothing to do with books being newly published.) |

My suggestion is to stop using Safari and install Firefox.

Thank you to all who replied. I had to update the dedrm file and add Kindle serial no, then add azw as the file extension - it seems to have worked as I’ve now an EPUB in Calibre.

Amazon has released Kindle for PC version 2.0.1 with new DRM for KFX format. Fortunately many books downloaded with this new app version will still have DRM that DeDRM 10.0.9 can handle. However books from those publishers for which Amazon provides stronger protection will use the new DRM and those books can no longer be downloaded using prior versions of Kindle for PC. (Those books can often be identified by "On PC & Mac, the latest version of the Kindle app is required." in the product description.) Last edited by jhowell; 09-23-2023 at 06:15 AM. |
