@Amazondoc. No matter what the error message may have said, you are not entitled to help or even a response on this forum. This is a community of book lovers and like many such groups, members choose to help each other, but are not of course obliged to do so. I suggest that in future you bear this in mind when posting.
So far as removing DRM from KU books go, payment to a particular author by Amazon for pages read does not entitle you to keep the book concerned. You can keep that book and 9 others at any one time provided you remain a KU member. When you return a book or cease to be a member you have no legal right to that book. If you want the author to be paid then I caution you about simply clicking through a book on a Kindle device or App. We don't know precisely how Amazon determines pages read. A recent statement from Amazon implied that at least newer Kindle devices (and presumably apps) can determine with a high degree of precision what pages have been read. Whether simply quickly clicking through on such a device is sufficient to trigger payment to an author on such devices or apps only Amazon knows.
I should add that I am simply pointing out what I see as problems in what you said. I make no moral judgements or criticism. It is your own affair how you choose to treat DRM infected books and licensing terms. But detailed help of the type you require is not available here. You need to post at Apprentice Alf's blog and should include a debug log of what happens when you seek to import a book.
Good luck.
