Calibre not opening certain books

Hi : glad this forum is here! I just downloaded a Kindle book from Amazon. It reads okay on the Kindle app on my laptop, but can't be read by Calibre. If I try to do so, a message appears asking me "How do you want to open this file?" Beneath this is "Look for an app in the Microsoft Store." Lastly comes, "Always use this app [unspecified] to open .kfx-zip files." My other books all seem to open perfectly. Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Hello and welcome to MobileRead!

KFX files have DRM and cannot be read by Calibre. Here are instructions how to download your Kindle books in a format that can be deDRM-ed:
