can't add .AZW3F files to Calibre

CharlieN · 04-23-2015, 04:12 AM

After upgrading to a new Kindle a couple of years ago and having a major headache trying to reload my previously purchased ebooks from Amazon, I now save a copy in Calibre on my PC. Purchased a new ebook from Amazon last week but can't add it to Calibre.

Seems Kindle/Amazon are starting to send me AZW3F files in-lieu of AZW3
and Calibre rejects AZW3F files
Have never had any problems with AZW3

Anything I can do, besides stop buying from Amazon ?

Thanks

See the link at http://www.file-extensions.org/azw3f-file-extension

An azw3f does not contain a book. It typically resides within the .sdr directory on the Kindle, and apparently it holds metadata for the corresponding .azw3 file.
