Calibre not work
Hello…I installed Kindle 1.20, but then changed to 1.17 (for PC/laptop) as by hoping to be able to convert to PDF format through Calibre. Unfortunately, it is still not work for me. The Calibre cannot give me a PDF format even though I already use Kindle 1.17.
Would you mind to advise me, please? What should I do? Thank you very much. |

You need to give us more information. What error do you get when you try to convert the book to PDF?

I think I can say that to get a PDF from an AZW4 file, KindleUnpack is the plugin to use. |

If the previous poster is not asking about the use of Kindle for PC / Kindle for Mac specifically, they should start a new thread and not ask here. |

Thank you so much for this explanation. It didn't work for me three times until I realized I was not following your instructions EXACTLY. I would strongly urge anyone who follows these instructions to not skip a step, tpo read them carefully, and to do them exactly in the order in which they're presented. All I wanted was to be able to put a book on my husband's Kindle and this, with Calibre and the plugins, worked instantly.
I registered for this forum because of your post. Thank you, thank you!! |

I'm running Sierra. Can anyone confirm if sudo chmod -x /Applications/Kindle.app/Contents/MacOS/renderer-test works with Sierra? Thanks Last edited by i<3books; 09-05-2017 at 05:59 AM. |

Nothing will visibly happen. The command, as you can see, is simply removing "execute" permission from a file. The result of executing the command is that K4Mac should no longer download books in KFX format. Are you finding that it's still doing so?

The Mac App Store is showing a new version of Kindle for Mac, 1.20.3. The description is "This update includes stability improvements and bug fixes."
It is not yet known whether method #2 of avoiding KFX, described in the first post of this thread, will work with that version. |

I very much doubt that a point release would change the way it works. I'm sure we'll know soon enough, though.

Not a Mac user myself, but those who tried that reported it prevented Kindle for Mac from running too. If it had worked, there wouldn't be different solutions for PC and Mac for "method 2" in the first post.
