Problem converting AZW3 to mobi

[mitch1945]

Have been using Apprentice Alf's plug-ins for years and no problems. Most of my conversions are for books purchased ex Amazon to put them in Calibre in mobi format. Never had any problems but just struck 2 books that are AZW3 (not kfx) and they will not remove DRM. I attach one of them. They were purchased from Amazon (not cheap). Both from the same author - they are old books that have been updated for Kindle. Bradshaw's Handbook - George Bradshaw.DOCX

Could not upload the AZW3 file so renamed it DOCX - hopefully if you rename it to AZW3 it will be OK? The other that will not convert is also a Bradshaw book Regards

Did you download it from the website? Did you choose an E-ink Kindle for the device (not a Fire)? If so, it looks like you don't have the correct serial number in the plugin customization.

[mitch1945]

Hi,

Yes, downloaded from Amazon USA through my account.

Loaded to Paperwhite, not Fire.

Serial number is in Calibre correctly ie 90602201436702U1

What else can be wrong?

Been converting AZW3 books for long time including tonight and all OK apart from the 2 Bradshaw books!

Cheers

John

Double check the serial number. Try copy & paste from the website (removing spaces). Or re-download to make sure of the device selected. Because the log says the correct key is not in there:

"DeDRM v6.5.5: Failed to decrypt with error: No key found in 16 keys tried."

(Don't post the serial number here. That would allow anyone to pirate the book from the previous post. Go ahead and remove the book from that post if possible.)

[mitch1945]

Hi again,

The correct Kindle key is listed twice in around the first 30 lines of the log. I am not having any problems with other AZW3 conversions.

Any other ideas.

A clue might be that I loaded the book (in AZW3 format) to my Kindle Paperwhite and it cannot be read!

Cheers

John

A clue might be that I loaded the book (in AZW3 format) to my Kindle Paperwhite and it cannot be read!

Then clearly the book is not keyed for that device. If the Paperwhite can't read it, then DeDRM won't be able to remove DRM with the key from the Paperwhite's serial number.

[mitch1945]

Hi for last time!

Finally I managed to sort it. For some unknown reason when downloading it from Amazon it needs my Paperwhite name as the Kindle I am using. This may sound logical but I have never had this before. As long as it comes up with a registered unit I have all is usually OK.

Anyway, thanks for your time and patience. Both books converted OK.

Regards

John

Yes, each device has its own unique key even within the same Amazon account. If you're all set, you can close this issue.

Many thanks for help and suggestions.
