i did get around it by using a FREE AZW to AZW3 convertor... but i'd rather not do that, but prefer to use Calibre for all conversions... thanks ed |

Thank You
Thanks very much for the tip. I've no intention of uploading anything but I deeply resent paying Amazon for a book and being restricted to reading it on the (not very adaptable) Kindle. Many thanks.

Thank you for these tips. Method #2 worked for me. It was very straightforward and simple. I had to google opening a command line.
I tried method #1, and even with that link, the latest version of kindle for pc was downloaded. |

First time I encountered this issue and Calibre pointed me right to this thread. Wonderful! Method 1 worked flawlessly. Thanks!

Detailed help with DRM is not permitted here. If you're still having problems ask at Apprentice Alf's blog or Apprentice Harper's github repository.

I ended us using #2 for my PC. I didn't understand that you meant to go the command prompt until I thought about it for a bit Thanks to you I made the changes and converted the book in Calibre.

#2 worked great once I figured out I was supposed to go the command prompt.
Thanks |

Thanks for sharing another method , but how is this any simpler? You did the exact same thing copying the command string above to the command window and pressing enter does.

ren "C:\Program Files (x86)\Amazon\Kindle\renderer-test.exe" renderer-test.xxx I have Kindle 1.20.1 on Win7. Renaming the file got everything working again. Thanks so much for the tip. |

The above scenarios are well and good for old eBooks; however, new ones appear to require the KFX format. Are there plans to support the KFX format in Calibre? This seems to me to be the long term solution.
Thanks, Richard |
