Trying to copy documents from Amazon Fire Tablet to Win 11 laptop. Using USB cable. Using extant Win 11 File Manager.
Most data and documents copied ok. Some returned error messages:
Specified file type is wrong or Catastrophic Failure.

Documents are .DOC and shown with Windows doc icon.

I don't think they are windows Doc format, But the extension is present on the names of the documents. -- .doc means something else on tablet. The extension is automatically applied on tablet.

Should I try to rename the files with a utility before copying?

Or?

What am I doing wrong? What should I do?

Thanks for any help given.

For any files created on the Fire that can be read on the Fire but not readable in Windows, you should be able to install Kindle for PC on your computer and use that app in Windows to read them. https://www.amazon.com/sendtokindle

If that doesn't work, upload unreadable files to Google Drive to see if Google Docs can read them.

I do not have a Fire, but because of so much cross-platform contamination when dealing with files between Android, Windows and IOS, I have always found the best solution to be to create documents in pdf format from the get-go. It makes life simpler all the way around. .
