I have not installed te update yet. I will look at upgrading later today and see if I can help. In the past, Kindle for Mac app really handled the DeDRM partish allowing Calibre to leverage Kindle rights to strip away the DRM. I know that Amazon updated the Kindle for iPad app perhaps they tweaked the DRM as well. Have you tried deleting the books and completely re-downloading them, then opening in Kindle. After that try pulling into Calibre? Sorry for the delay in response, I got your comment while running an then why family had the opportunity to be in true Chicago St. Patrick’s Day Parade.

From Calibre I can then drag books to my Boox reader. Today I upgraded Calibre to 0.8.43 and it has blown up the plug-in converter. I followed all your instructions easily to download, install and open the Calibre files, but nothing I can do will convert the latest Amazon book - it remains as an .azw file. I have tried customising by inserting the correct book file code, also opening and closing the book in Kindle for Mac, but nothing works. Previously I didn't customise, installing the plug-in was sufficient and every book dragged into Calibre converted instantly. Am I missing something?

On the device? If so you just need to transfer it to the computer. Also, It "should" be in your B&N account online, they all all of your purchases. try going here: <a href="http://mynook.barnesandnoble.com/library.html?x=" rel="nofollow"></a> and see if it is in your library.
