I downloaded some books off the net. I uploaded them into my kindlewhite using calibre.
I am not able to open them on Kindle.

I also try to send them to kindle using email. They were rejected.

I can open the books on Calibre so assuming there is no DRM.

Any ideas on why this is not working.

Kindle only accepts mobi and azw3 formats. Have you tried converting your books into one of these formats in your Calibre? If not, this is what you should be doing now.

Converted them to what format?
That is the key to answering your question.

No help will be given on Mobileread with regard to pirated books. Do not ask for help with illicit copies of books again. This is your one and only warning.
