AZW3 Filename
Im using Calibre 1.40, 64 bit, and a Kindle Paperwhite. I have re-installed, and uninstalled and then re-installed. I have even tries the 32 bit version of Calibre. The problem persists.
When I connect to my device, any file in .mobi is handled just fine. However, any files in .AZW3 format, it doesn't seem to be able to get any of the data on. For example: I:\documents\The Jungle Book_B0084B1T8Y.AZW3 . The title is listed as 'The Jungle Book B0084B1T8Y', the author is unknown. When I press V to open it, I can see the cover image, and can read the book fine. Is there something I can do to get Calibre to correctly register these .AZW3 files? |

Reinstalling only refreshes the program binaries -- all settings remain untouched in
Code:
%APPDATA%\calibre\ If you open the AZW3 (via the file browser on Drive I: ) in the calibre viewer, does it show the title correctly in the titlebar? Or reimport the books-on-device into a test library, and see if the metadata gets determined correctly. If the AZW3 has the correct metadata in it, there is something wrong with your Kindle. I cannot think why calibre would delete all metadata in the book. If the metadata is missing... I don't know. |

DRM on the AZW3 format files maybe?

There are definitely some of these files with DRM, but I worked through until I found one I had downloaded from Amazon directly, but was public domain, and opened correctly, before I submitted an issue. I knew DRM was a potential cause, and wanted to eliminate it from consideration.
As for the Calibre viewer - When I open these books, the title appears correctly, and all metadata is available: Title: The Jungle Book Authors: Rudyard Kipling Author Sort: Kipling, Rudyard Published: May 2012 Tags: Animals -- Fiction, Children's stories, English, India -- Fiction, Jungle animals -- Fiction, Jungles -- Fiction, Mowgli (Fictitious character) -- Fiction Languages: English I will begin on those steps - The folder renamed, and test library work. Thank you both. |
