Calibre Non Riconosce Kindle

By downloading a free and open-source e-book management app known as Calibre, and a corresponding plugin that cracks Amazon’s DRM encryption, you can convert any Kindle e-book into an iBook format. Check if your Kindle is not recognized by the PC. Use only an original cable. They open in Calibre settings, and then 'Ignored devices' and make sure that your Kindle is not listed there. Check to see if your Kindle has the latest Software Version is installed. Launch your book reader application to read a book (works with most reader applications except for Amazon Kindle for Android used on non-Fire devices). 2) CC can connect to calibre over WiFi and be detected by calibre as a device. Once connected, you use calibre to move books to and from your device.

What is Kindle Collection? Kindle Collections are a classification of the folders on the kindle device which help you organize kindle contents. If you have lots of eBooks on your Kindle library, you should create collections to manage your ebooks in good order. In this article I will introduce 6 methods to help manage kindle collections.

1. Create and Manage Collections on Amazon Website

In 2017, Amazon has added a new function of creating and managing collections for Kindle books in the Cloud which is very convenient for users. Now you can create and manage your kindle books at 'Manage Your Content and Devices'.

Step 1 Create New Collection.

Go to your Amazon account and choose 'Manage Your Content and Devices'. Then click ' Your Content', and choose 'Collections' at the dropdown list. Then you will see ' Create new collection' button and just click it. A new window will pop up. You just have to enter the name of this collection. Now a new collection has been created so easily.

Step 2 Add your books to the newly created collection.

Click on the button before the book title and choose ' Add to collections'. Then a dialog box will pop up which allows you to select already existed collections or create new collection. You can even select more than one collection to add this book.

When all these have been done, you just need to open your kindle device and choose ' Sync and Check for Items' at the menu. Then all created collections will be shown in the Cloud library.

Note: Amazon only allows you to manage the books that you have already purchased from Amazon store.

Q: If I delete the collection, will the books added to this collection be deleted?

A: The books in collections will not be deleted at the same time.

2. Create and Manage Collections on Kindle Manually

Step 1 Create New Collection.

For Kindle Paperwhite users, go forward to the Home screen and select 'Create New Collection' on the menu. Create and name your collection by date, author name, subject and so on. Here are a few of my collections as follows: New to read, Currently reading, Samples, Non-fiction, Horror, Historical, Sci-Fi& Fantasy, Reference.

Step 2 Put your books in the collection.

Press and hold the cover of ebook. Select 'Add to Collection' from the poppingd-up box. Then check the box next to the new collection where you want the book to appear. At last, press Done at the bottom of the screen.

To navigate to a collection, you can add more items or remove from the menu.

Note: If you have 500 books in your Kindle, it's a huge workload to organize these books in order one by one. And this method is also only applied to purchased books from Amazon Store.

Q: Why do my books appear in 'Documents from My items' and not in 'Books from My items'?

A: Docs are the ones that you send to your Kindle device by email, but not purchased directly from Amazon.

3. Using Kindle for PC/Mac app

This method will take Kindle for PC as an example. If you are using Kindle for Mac and encounter any operating problems, please leave your reply in the comment.

Compared with the method 2, using the desktop kindle app is easier to set up and manage kindle collections.

Step 1 Create Collections on Kindle for PC/Mac desktop App.

Make sure that you have logged in Kindle for PC with your Amazon account. Right-click the cover of the book and select 'Add/Remove from Collection' from the drop down list. Click 'New Collection' and name the title of the collection. And you can also move the book to collections which you have already created.

Step 2 Import collections to kindle paperwhite (Kindle Touch).

Login your kindle device (only for kindle paperwhite/kindle touch) with the same Amazon account. Hit Home and then Menu and tap 'Sync and Check for Items'. Switch to Cloud View, open the menu and select 'Import Collections'. Then select 'OK' on the pop-up screen. Wait for a moment, then all the books will appear in the corresponding collections in order. Congratulations!

The method 2 and 3 above can only be applied to Kindle paperwhite and Kindle Touch. If you have an older Kindle device, please refer to the method 4 and the method 5.

Q: How to transfer Kindle collections from Kindle for PC to iPad Kindle app?

A: It's easier for us to make and manage my collections on pc. According to Amazon Cusomer Service, it doesn't support sending collections from computer to iPad. Maybe Kindle Cloud Collections can help you manage kindle books on iPad (iOS app).

4. Kindlian Kindle Collection Manager (For Windows Only)

Kindlian is a cool add-on for Kindle device and works on Windows XP/Vista 7/8. It supports Kindle Keyboard&Kindle Black&Kindle Grey, Kindle Touch and Kindle Paperwhite. This program allows us to import and manage Kindle Books and collections.

It helps you manage kindle collection by editing, adding, creating, copying, renaming, and more.

Sermon: Why DRM Is Bad

Like many people you own an Amazon Kindle device for reading e-books.

And like many companies that trade in digital intellectual property, Amazon includes digital rights management (DRM) software in their e-books. The stated purpose is to prevent piracy, and for that DRM is modestly effective. But DRM also inconveniences legitimate customers.

The problem here is that America's copyright lawyers figured out how to change the rules of ownership. When you buy a paperback book, its content belongs to the author, but the physical book belongs to you. You can loan it to someone, trade it, sell it, or just keep it and reread it as many times as you want. But when you 'buy' a Kindle book, you're renting temporary authorization from Amazon to store the book on up to 6 Amazon-approved devices. This arrangement is bad for customers, for a number of reasons:

Any Kindle book that you 'own' can disappear at any time, because of technological failure, change of license, or simple human error.
If Amazon ever abandons their Kindle business, all your Kindle books could vanish in a flash. Wait, though, isn't Amazon too big to disappear? Maybe. But Kodak, Enron, General Motors, Sears, and the Smith-Corona typewriter company were once 'too big to fail' American institutions too.
DRM interferes with legal uses of copyrighted text, like satire, reuse in teaching materials, and citation in reviews or academic papers. As a one-time IT guy at a public university, I frequently battled with DRM-ed written and recorded materials that instructors or researchers wanted to excerpt. The worst offender here is DVD region encoding.
DRM-ed Kindle books are incompatible with non-Amazon book readers and software. Sure, Amazon software is supported on most platforms now, but what about a decade from now? How many people still have the equipment to read a floppy disk, VHS tape, phonograph record, or audio cassette? A lot of music, art, and writing is abandoned every time our storage technology changes to a different format, whether you're talking about reel-to-reel tapes or clay tablets. If it's important to you, make as many different copies of it as you can stand.

Автокад for mac. But DRM isn't going away, so..

To Remove the DRM from a Kindle E-Book:

(July 2017: Updated for Calibre 3 and added screenshots.)
(December 2017: Added a note about using Calibre with a Kindle reading app instead of an e-ink Kindle.)
(April 2018: As of version 6.6.0, Apprentice Alf's DRM removal tools support Amazon's newer .kfx file format. You'll also need to install the KFX conversion plugin to import your .kfx files into Calibre.)

Download and install the Calibre e-book management utility. Calibre is open-source software and costs nothing, although if you find it useful you might throw developer Kovid Goyal a few dollars. Calibre is available for Windows, Mac, and Linux.
Download Apprentice Alf's DRM removal tools for ebooks. This comes as a .zip archive, so open it up and put the 'DeDRM_calibre_plugin' folder where you can find it. (You don't need to unzip the 'DeDRM_plugin.zip' file in the DeDRM_calibre_plugin folder.)
Start up Calibre and go to Preferences -> Advanced -> Plugins.
(Click images for full size.)
Click the 'Load plugin from file' button.
Select the 'DeDRM_plugin.zip' file you placed in step 2 and click 'Open'. Calibre will add this plugin under its 'File type plugins' list in the Preferences window.
If Calibre gives you an error like `ERROR: Unhandled exception: InvalidPlugin:The plugin in C:UsersMeDownloadsDeDRM_tools_6.6.1.zip' is invalid. It does not contain a top-level __init__.py file`, you're trying to load the full archive folder into Calibre. Instead you need to open up the .zip file you downloaded and drill down a couple of levels. Using this example the file you want is C:UsersMeDownloadsDeDRM_tools_6.6.1.zipDeDRM_calibre_pluginDeDRM_plugin.zip.
Note: If you're using a Kindle reading app instead of a handheld Kindle, you can skip steps 6-8 below. Instead, just drag the books you've downloaded into Calibre to remove the DRM. On Windows, your Kindle library will be something like `C:UsersyouDocumentsMy Kindle Content` and on a Mac it'll be `/Users/you/Library/Containers/com.amazon.Kindle/Data/Library/Application Support/Kindle/My Kindle Content`. Note again: For this to work, Kindle for PC or Mac should be installed on the same computer and user account as Calibre, and the version of the reading app you're using matters too. I'd suggest tracking down a copy of Kindle for PC/Mac version 1.17 or earlier.
Note #2: If you're trying to de-DRM Amazon's newer .kfx files, you'll also need to install the KFX conversion plugin. Full details and discussion, as well as a .zip archive containing the plugin, are at the provided link. You can install this like you did the DeDRM plugin in steps 3-5 above.
Next you'll need to add your Kindle's serial number. Select 'DeDRM' under the 'File type plugins' list and click the 'Customize plugin' button.
In the 'Customize' window that opens, click the 'eInk Kindle ebooks' button, then click the + button to add your Kindle's serial number. (On my basic wi-fi Kindle this is listed under Settings -> Device Info.) Enter the serial number as 16 characters, without spaces. Then click the 'Apply' button, and close out the preferences window.
Make sure your Kindle is connected to your computer as a USB device. If it is connected, you'll be able to browse it like your computer's hard drive.
Now you need to add your Kindle books to the 'Library' in Calibre. There are various ways to do this. In Calibre, you can click the 'Add Books' button, or click 'Calibre Library' and then right-click and select 'Add books', or just drag the book files (.kfx, .azw3, .mobi) from your Kindle's documents folder into the Library window.
If you configured the De-DRM plugin correctly (steps 3-7), Calibre will automatically strip the DRM from your Kindle books as it adds them to its library. This can take a while, so patience is a virtue.
As Calibre imports your books, it copies them to your 'Documents' folder under 'Calibre library'.
To ensure the DRM was removed, you can try converting one of your imported books to a different format. Right-click one of the books in your Calibre Library window and select 'Convert books -> Convert individually'. The default export format is .epub, which is fine for testing. Click OK, and if the process completes with no errors then you know the DRM is gone. (The .epub book is placed in the same location as the original file in the 'Calibre library' folder on your computer.)

Finally, back up your DRM-free files. You do back everything up, right?
