I agree with you, especially on the last sentence. Apple is one of the most scrutinized companies out there with regard to how they use customer data. There are people out there that carefully analyze the data between Apple devices and the network. If they get caught with their hand in the cookie jar, so to speak, it's going to be major news.

For those of you who have made the leap to Big Sur, any problems with Calibre or Alf? Thank you

Hello... I'm the one having trouble with Big Sur on the Mac mini M1... I know we're not supposed to get too technical here, but I was wondering if you could tell me what versions you're running of all the tools:
Kindle for Mac
Calibre
Alf Plugin
Feel free to private message me if you prefer. Or check out my thread in Alf Github.

Thanks in advance!

What version of Calibre are you using? You might want to check the new version of DRM tool thread on the news forum.

I'm running:
Calibre = 4.23
Alf = 6.8
Kindle for Mac = 1.26.1

This set does not work on Mac mini M1 Big Sur.

Be sure to check Apprentice Alf's Blog or Apprentice Harper's GitHub for instructions on configuring support for books downloaded for an e-ink Kindle.

Has anyone on Big Sur gotten K4Mac to work with Calibre/Alf? Or just with "Download & transfer via USB"?

Calibre 4.23
Alf - 6.8.0
downloaded via Amazon's content and devices page.

Just deleted a book and re-loaded it to make sure everything was still working. No problem. I haven't heard of any issues with the Kindle for Mac, but I would not be shocked if some files got moved around and that is causing problems. You do have to have a kindle device in order to download your content and for the alf plug in to work with it. Instructions are included in the plugin.

I just did this method as well on Mac mini M1 Big Sur and it works fine. (Thanks for the tip, this is easier anyway!)

Just as a note, the Alf plug-in works with Kindle for Mac version 1.26 or earlier. That is likely what your problem is. I'm glad the other method worked for you,
