Dealing with Kindle ebooks in calibre

Thank you all for your help!

But you didn't use Kindle for Mac to download that AZW4, as I understand. You used Download & Transfer, and because that book can only be downloaded for a Fire tablet, you won't be able to deDRM it this way. You'll need to download it again using Kindle for Mac (the classic version, not the one you're using).

And then extract the PDF. AFAIK, azw4 can't be converted.
