Yes, I don't understand that. I'm not familiar with the Kindle 
ecosystem, so I'm sorry that I can not help. But I do know that Calibre 
alone would display giberish when reading a book with DRM. It needs a 
DeDRM plugin in order to show you the readable text.

Maybe the plugin only allows reading, not exporting?
