Importing *.azw files from Kindle 1.32.0 (61109)

avmad · 07-11-2021, 07:05 AM

Hello all,

Newbie here although have been using Calibre (infrequently) for a while. I'm using ver 5.23.0.

I just tried to import a couple of books from my Desktop Kindle app - ver 1.32.0 (61109). Both failed.

I'm assuming that I must need a plug-in or other conversion mechanism, before Calibre can read the files.

I've linked an image of the Kindle folder of one of the books for reference. There is a file of type 'voucher' and the letters 'drm' in the name. I don't recall seeing this before (but maybe I killed those brain cells).

Can anyone advise me of the steps I need to do to get such a book imported please?

Cheers!

avmad

Thank you BetterRed.

I will check that now. I must have been searching on the wrong search terms before, not to find that.

Off to read it now.

Cheers!
