Calibre Suddenly Won't Convert Kindle Files
up until this morning, i've had no issues purchasing an amazon kindle book, opening it in my kindle for mac app and then importing it to calibre to convert. suddenly whenever i import into calibre, it's not reading the metadata or something, and the book/file name in calibre is the random numbers and letters assigned to the original kindle file. and if i try to convert, i get an error message. from what i see in the error message, the kindle book is a KFX format. i am running the most recent version of Calibre and DeDRM. Any help would be appreciated.
calibre, version 2.78.0 (darwin, embedded-python: True) Conversion Error: Failed: Convert book 1 of 1 (B003B02PF4 EBOK) Spoiler:
calibre.ebooks.mobi.reader.mobi6.KFXError: This is an Amazon KFX book. It cannot be processed. Last edited by BetterRed; 02-02-2017 at 09:20 PM. Reason: spoiler tags |

See Kindle producing azw files that no program can read
If you search for 'KFX' in the calibre forum you'll find that thread and several like it. BR |

Look at the links posted in this thread. You'll find that your Kindle Reader for PC has been upgraded to a version that downloads in KFX format. You need to downgrade it

ok so I am new here and had the same problem as you so I posted for help then I dug deeper. someone mentioned uninstalling kindle for pc and reinstalling the 17.1 version so I figured I would try and I was able to download a free kindle book and convert it .

You'll need to tell us what OS you are running and what version of Calibre and what the error message is. Give us as much detail as possible. |
