Problem converting AZW to epub

I've purchased a book from Amazon and I want to read it on my Sony Reader. It opens in Kindle for PC on my laptop and imports into Calibre, but Calibre won't open or convert it. I have extra plug ins installed but in this instance I get a Conversion Error, Failed. Any suggestions?

Are your plug-ins up to date?

Thank you. I downloaded and imported v5 plug ins. Still no success.
I neglected to mention that this is a Topaz format.

What is the title? I'll see if the sample has the same problem.

I did not have any problems with the sample. Importing it gives a HTMLZ file, as expected.

With TOPAZ, DRM removal and conversion are not technically the same thing, and your error is with conversion, but since this is coming from the "tools" package I suggest asking on Apprentice Alf's Blog.
