Folks Hi My first Newbie post!

I have Kindle 3.3.1 (64 bit) on my Win 10 PC, patched to latest spec. I have installed the DeDRM v 6.6.1 plugin, downloaded from apprenticealf.wordpress.com.

I previously had a much earlier version of DeDRM (v6.2.1), and used it successfully for several years to convert azws and azw3 ebooks bought from Kindle/Amazon to epub.

But Amazon now appears to have introduced a pestiferous new DRM scheme, and Calibre cannot open the resulting azw files. Even if I download the azws directly to my PC (USB option) without using Kindle, and access using Calibre, I am told that the books are DRM protected when I attempt to open or convert them

Am I defeated?

Thanks!
