Yes. The device is a Kindle Fire.
I'm guessing that is the issue? |

However, I do have a Kobo Libra color eReader that I just got....and was contemplating returning.
Would this help? |

@Gatesway
The "download & transfer" method only works for books for E-ink Kindles and that book isn't available for E-ink Kindles even if you have one. Try a copy from Kindle for Mac. See method 2 in the first post for details. |

What version of the Kindle for Mac app are you using? You may want to check the first message in this thread and check through Method 2: Kindle for PC/Mac. Unless you have the classic Kindle for Mac 1.40(?), you will not be able to import the files. OTOH, the new K4Mac versions should only be downloading KFX.

If you have the current K4Mac 7.x you can leave it on your Mac. 1.40.x and 7.x operate independently, so you can have both on the same machine. |

I didn't start using K4PC for decoding until 2.4.0, and I did not do any renaming, and it works fine. I want KFX in most cases as I'm dealing with print replica or fixed layout content. My usual workflow is to download AZW3 from Content page, but that does not work for print replica, and I've found converting AZW3 to ePub for fixed layout books is tricky: calibre doesn't support it and KindleUnpack can have issues too. But converting from KFX always seems to work well. |

https://wing-kai.github.io/epub-manga-creator/ to rebuild the fixed layout ePub from scratch. It create the best standard fixed layout ePub. But you are right, KFX conversion to ePub is easier even for fixed layout it just require calibre cli (PS. for those that would like to try the command is: calibre-debug -r "KFX Input" -- -e "file.kfx" "newfile.epub" ) |

I am getting a bit weary that there seem to be so many ways to get a good fixed layout ePub, where one would do. I'd like it to be calibre itself, but at least so far, KFX is winning for me. I've used KindleUnpack to get image files, however, the images typically need to be renumbered, because AZW3 image files, when sorted, do not follow reading order sequence, and tools that rely on sort order won't work. Convert to ZIP does do that. One can also convert to (throwaway) ePub, which numbers them in 'spine' order, and export images with calibre Edit Book. But all this unnecessary with KFX workflow, so I hope Amazon doesn't pull the plug on Kindle for Windows 4.2.0 any time soon, it is the only way of getting KFX for this content as far as I can tell (I can import from a Kindle but these have no color images). One annoyance I have is that publishers are too lazy to create a functional ToC even where the typical 200 p comic/manga has chapters. KFX workflow does not solve that problem, and since KFX is not editable, I have found myself re-creating one that does have a ToC (with Kindle Create) before converting to other formats. It's a lot of work, especially if you want the resulting KFX to have panel view like the original. Kindle Create's Automatic generation of panels does not work very well; where is ML when you need it? So I'm probably going to embrace imperfection, and do without the ToC that I think should be there. |

Of course only if you are not using KFX. |
