How to read convert Amazon AZW ebook to ePub/fb2/LRF/Mobi/PDF/PDB/TXT/RTF/LIT

[any ANONYMOUS forum user]

Amazon sells DRM protected .AZW ebooks which can be read on Kindle or Kindle apps like Kindle for iPad. If you want to convert your Amazon .AZW ebook to ePub/fb2/LRF/Mobi/PDF/PDB/TXT/RTF/LIT, you need to remove DRM protection first. Actually you can do both (drm removal and conversion) using freeware Calibre.

1. Download and install Kindle for PC
2. Download and install freeware Calibre
3. Download and install DRM removal plug-ins for Calibre:
   ebook DRM removal tools archive
   (if you use Kindle for PC app, you will just need to add the Kindle plug-in to Calibre)
4. Download .AZW ebook onto Kindle For PC
5. Run Calibre
6. Find the folder with Kindle for PC ebooks (My documents/My Kindle Content)
7. Select DRM-protected AZW files and drag-n-drop them onto Calibre
8. Calibre will remove DRM protection from AZW ebook(s)
9. Convert your DRM-free MOBI ebooks to any other format (like ePub/fb2/LRF/Mobi/PDF/PDB/TXT/RTF/LIT) using Calibre if needed.

After removing DRM protection, you can read your DRM-free ebook on any device you have including iPad, Kindle, Sony Reader, Nook or any other reader (you may need to convert your DRM-free ebook into ePub/fb2/LRF/Mobi/PDF/PDB/TXT/RTF/LIT first).

I downloaded tools4.8.zip. How do I add the kindle plugin to calibre?

[Bookworm]

Installed Calibre (latest version, 0.8.32) and all Calibre plugins (version 4.8). DeDRM'ing works fine for ePub and Adobe PDF.

But it doesn't work for my azw files.

When importing an azw file to Calibre, I get this message:

Couldn't decode (filename).

Importing encrypted version.

I tried it with my standalone Kindle (entered serial number). I also tried it with Kindle for PC (downloaded all books again).

Always encountering the same problem.

I really would appreciate some input/help with this. Thanks a lot!

Amazon has a filter for anyone uploading to Kindle (backlist authors, self pubbed) but you can load a .PDF file that is already formatted and checked. Publishers have several options, the safest of which is to double-check the formatting!: you should change kindle mobi to ePub format. Resource: http://www.vibosoft.com/ebook/conver...b-mac-win.html
