Again, you should go to the Calibre support forum. <br /><br />Re the <a href="http://bit.ly/kk-calibre-azw3" rel="nofollow">search on azw3 problems</a> that I gave you in an earlier reply, one of the first link results leads to a discussion of this problem:<br /><br /> Sorry I can't be more helpful. In the article above, I mentioned "Mobipocket Reader 6.2" -- that might be more useful for you but it loses some of the newer formatting.<br /><br /><br /> <a href="http://www.mobileread.com/forums/showthread.php?t=224807" rel="nofollow">http://www.mobileread.com/forums/showthread.php?t=224807</a><br /><br /> Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05109282436243758435noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-872447660964013545.post-41638429449730975582014-07-31T19:37:48.543-07:002014-07-31T19:37:48.543-07:00Not the azw3. format, but the mobi.Not the azw3. format, but the mobi.Angel Danhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04729589735047599553noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-872447660964013545.post-28364568170476630562013-08-12T00:35:34.294-07:002013-08-12T00:35:34.294-07:00Anonymous on Aug. 11 - This article goes a way bac...Anonymous on Aug. 11 - This article goes a way back, and Calibre itself has terrific help responses available.<br /><br /> However, for a Kindle Fire, I just get the Aldiko app or the Mantano app from <a href="http://bit.ly/1mobilecom-apps" rel="nofollow">1mobile market app</a> - get the 1mobile market app on our Kindle first though at the link in this paragraph.<br /><br /> These two programs each read ePub books Direct, on your Kindle Fire, and no conversion has to be done. I slightly prefer Aldiko.<br /><br /> This article was actually written for e-Ink ereader device owners, who needed ePub files cconverted to Kindle format.<br /><br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05109282436243758435noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-872447660964013545.post-7808318655819198742013-08-11T12:55:48.047-07:002013-08-11T12:55:48.047-07:00When I go to the Calibre site it said to pick a co...When I go to the Calibre site it said to pick a computer format, I have a kindle fire 1st generation, what format do I pick since there is none for the kindle to pick?<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-872447660964013545.post-52015241633075434002012-11-02T22:09:25.579-07:002012-11-02T22:09:25.579-07:00Re a comment that was to link people to ways to ha...Re a comment that was to link people to ways to have DRM (digital-rights management) removed from Kindle books for them, it's something that Amazon has requested strongly that sites not publish -- and then there are the Terms of Service, as requested by publishers.

Did you see the lower part of that blog entry about the site that will just convert it for you? You send them a request and they do it and then leave you a link to pick it up and then others will be able to get it there also. Done only with the free Google book offerings though. <br /><br /> See the link for "Retroread" ... Calibre has tech support for your main question though...
