"Kindle cannot open files in the Kindle Document format" is now the message I get even after converting to Mobi and trying some of the suggestions I found on older threads like removing the PDOC tag etc.

Everything was working fine until originally the app flashed a message that it needed to be updated, I uninstalled the old one and installed the 1.17.1 version. I am on the latest Calibre version but I am using a 6.0.7 DeDrm version, current is 6.5.3, does anybody think it is the DeDrm version that needs to be updated that could correct this problem? If I do update it do I need to remove the old plugin version before adding the new one or will it just overwrite it?

I am still able to sideload books to the Ibooks Mac app which I can live with although I prefer reading on the Kindle app so if there is an easy solution I would appreciate any help you can offer.

I am not using any devices, just the app, thanks for your help.
