Hi there,

I've been using the mobi-dedrm plugin for calibre to remove the drm from books I've bought in the kindle store. So far it worked very well - I would download the book in 'kindle for mac', add it to calibre, which then - through the plugin - removed the drm. All of a sudden, this has stopped working. With all the files I now download from amazon I cannot remove the drm.

I went into my backups and found a kindle file which still had the drm on it from a couple of weeks ago. If I import this to calibre, it DOES remove the drm - but if I redownload the same title from the kindle store now, I cannot do it. So, it seems as if amazon has changed something on their end. Anyone have the same problem? Or, know any possible solutions?
