AZW3 to MOBI

[Liisssaa]

I have explained why not. I want to send it through email, like I've always done, so there's a back up on "my documents" on my amazon account. I don't always purchase from amazon but I want all my books in one place, converting to mobi and sending to email was always the most easiest way to do so until this document. I thank you both for that suggestion though.

I've narrowed the problem down to the actual converting to mobi. Could any of you figure out why that would be an issue with this book and not before? And if the azw3 has a set layout, how to work around that so it converts properly?

Yes, I know you do. The reason that pdurrant and I have both suggested that you look at the original book is so that you can see if the problem exists there. If it does, it has nothing to do with DRM-removal or conversion.

I've narrowed the problem down to the actual converting to mobi...

That contradicts what you said earlier, when you stated:

I tried transfering the azw3 file directly to my Kindle through cable but I have the same issues with that

If the same issues occur with the AZW3 version, then plainly it is NOT the conversion to Mobi that's causing the problem, is it?

Delete your original copy, go to your Manage my content page and send it again.
If the conversion fails, do as HarryT and pdurrant have suggested.
If you do not wish to listen to them, then might I suggest reading a different book.

As I've stated before, I've tried that Cinisajoy, but thanks for suggesting.
I don't like you're tone though. I'd suggest reading my comment again. I've explained why I prefer to have it send through email and not through cable. That why I've asked for help with the actual converting. I appreciate you're suggestion but as you might understand I was hoping someone here could help me with my question. All other suggestions i've been given I've tried, so I'm gratefull for that. I'll leave it as it and keep on looking for a solution to my problem.

it turned out that I've put the azw3 file in the wrong file on my kindle (through cable). By trying different things I've found out that it did work. I should have mentioned that, I apologize.
I've tried to transfer the azw3 file after the drm was removed, that worked. Then I tried converting to mobi again (that didn't work) wich lead me to assume the problem lies with converting this document.

Anyhow thanks for you're help. I'll keep on trying

[Liisssaa]

Sorry guys if I come across as rude or ungrateful. I got a bit frustrated with nothing working. I am listening and trying your suggestions, and am gratefull for you all trying to help

[HarryT]

Ok, so we've established that the DRM-free AZW3 version displays correctly, but the Mobi version doesn't. Is that right? If so, try converting the AZW3 version to ePub, and then convert the ePub to Mobi.

You've got a DRM free KF8 version,why do you want a Mobi version?

The OP has stated the reason several times, Jon.

[Liisssaa]

yes that's correct Harry. I've converted the azw3file to epub, am trying to convert the epub to azw3 but calibre appears to have issues with that. It takes a very long time to convert it

[HarryT]

Don't worry about that. Long conversion times are nothing to be concerned about. Just let it run - it will finish eventually.

[AnemicOak]

Makes me wonder if the book the OP is trying to convert is fixed format which would certainly be messed up when converted to Mobi.

Oke so calibre was finally done converting, I send it to my kindle, but same problem I'm afraid.

If that's the case AnemicOak, that it's a fixed format, is there a way to fix that or no?

[HarryT]

If your goal is simply to get it in your Cloud library, you should be able to do that by converting it to a "dual Mobi" - i.e. a file containing both Mobi7 and KF8 versions of the book. That way you'll still get the KF8 version downloaded to your Kindle.
