What are these 'Ebok' files?

I downloaded from Amazon to my Kindle on PC and they went into Calibre.

In Calibre there's the books listed and every second entry is a number beginning with B004 and listed as 'ebok'.

They don't open as books.

What are they?

You only need to add the file with the *.azw extension into Calibre. It will have a Calibre icon displayed when viewing the files in File Explorer.

Ebok is just a Amazon supplied book family name that includes all the sidecar files (typ 3 or 4) that go with a Kindle book). (you probably have extensions for known types, hidden, the windows default. They are KNOWN, because you installed a Kindle app)

You want the ones type labeled 'Kindle Content'

Thanks for that. So I can just throw them away. I will.

They serve a function on Kindle devices and apps. OTOH inside Calibre, no!

Good to know. I'll leave them alone in the Kindle directory (I have kindle for pc here) but in Calibre I'll delete them.
