Conversion error

[j-howell]

That book is a PDF file in a MOBI wrapper. It is not recognized properly by calibre due to a bug in the DeDRM plugin. You can unpack the PDF from it using the KindleUnpack plugin.

Try updating to the current calibre.

Updated Calibre (was using 4.x version for old plugin), still has import error for this particular book

Showing decrypted. But I'd try disabling KFX downloads. See this link: https://www.mobileread.com/forums/showthread.php?t=283371

If you find that it's AZW4 format, use the Kindle Unpack plugin to extract the PDF.

I think I've tried all the possible options there, and elsewhere, and still no luck. I can get it to think it converted fine with no errors, but the results is unreadable and seems like the encrypted stream. This is a very new book, perhaps it has a new method...

[ElleKayEm]

Unless it's a book you cannot download in non-KFX format, then you should be able to get it working.

No errors noted at all during import, but MOBI file has only some markup, and then ascii codes. Only this new book published jan 2022, not any others.

Thanks much.

Thank you so much I was trying to understand. I was ready to send a message to the author to ask for DRM-Free copy after my amazon purchase

OMG thank you. The strings looked familiar, but I never would have placed it without this notice, much less known about KindleUnpack.
