I just downloaded and installed DeDRM Tools 6.6.1, DeDRM Calibre Plugin for Mac. I've been using Calibre for years, so I'm comfortable with using it (though definitely not an expert at it in terms of techyness).

I am still not having luck converting KFX files, for either purchased or borrowed books. I understand the argument against converting KU books (though I disagree with it, since authors will get paid as long as I scroll through the book before returning it), and I won't ask for help with that, but I'd really like some input on how to get this to work for my purchased books.

I'm using Kindle for Mac 1.23.1 . I'll be reluctantly willing to try the going-back-to-1.17 or chmod methods if necessary, but I'd rather get the dang plugin to work as designed, if I can.

Any pointers? Also, I haven't tried the standalone app yet. Would that have a better chance of success?

Thanks in advance for any input!
