Hello. Is it still possible to import books from Kindle? I followed the instructions the best I could; I could not access the URL for the book. And the three little dots I was told to click on are nowhere to be found. Thanks.
If you have no luck with Calibre, maybe you could consider an alternative on Epubor, here there was a previous discussion: https://www.lingq.com/en/community/forum/open-forum/found-sure-method-to-import-ki
Thanks, I’m open to give anything a try. It’s just that I don’t have much technical experience.

I have gone back in and spent a couple more hours on this Calibre/plugin method. I got as far as:
ERROR: Unhandled exception: InvalidPlugin:The plugin in ‘C:\Users\tgmbi\Downloads\DeDRM_tools_7.1.0.zip’ is invalid. It does not contain a top-level init.py file
By the time I get this figured out I could have read the book!
I was just able to import a Kindle book into LingQ on my macbook.
- On Amazon, under Your Account, I clicked Content & Devices
- Then clicked Books
- To the right of your desired e-book, click More Actions
- Download & transfer to USB
- Choose your Kindle device (even though it will download to your computer) and click Download. This will download the awz3 file
- Convert the awz3 file into an epub (or PDF, DOCX, TXT, MOBI, SRT, ASS, VTT, TTML). I prefer epub because it formats well. I used cloudconvert[dot]com to convert. It was free and easy
- Click Import on LingQ Library and then e-book
- Select your file
