Instead, it uses the new KFX ebook format-which nothing else can read or convert right now.

It turns out that the new version of Kindle for PC, 1.19, no longer uses the AZW ebook format that Calibre knows how to read. Even though it’s DRM-free, when I dragged and dropped the file from my “My Kindle Content” directory across to Calibre, it couldn’t figure out what to do with the file.Ī little detective work turned up this Mobileread forum thread. I noticed it myself when I was trying to add a DRM-free title I just bought, Bone Dance by Emma Bull, to my Calibre library. Things just got a little harder for folks who like to store their Amazon purchases in Calibre. So, there may no longer be any need to use these workarounds. azw.Update, 4/5/18: I just noticed a post in a MobileRead thread indicating that there are now Calibre plug-ins available for handling KFX. AZW (Amazon Word) is a proprietary e-book format from Amazon, based on the original MOBI format using the high compression option, used on both eBook files that are protected with DRM and files that are not protected.The old format works on almost all devices, while the new format only supports Kindle. There are two main types of this format: the old KF7 format (called mobi7) and the new KF8 format (called mobi8). MOBI (Mobipocket E-book) is an e-book format developed by Mobipocket, used by the MobiPocket Reader and Amazon Kindle Reader, using XHTML and can include JavaScript and frames.If the source file is a very large file, it will take more time to upload, be sure to select a valid file.
