Tell me more about this. My wife and I both have pre-paperwhite Kindles, although I have no idea if they are e-ink, because I don't know what that is. However, I went to "Your content and devices" and downloaded a book to my kindle. It came down as a kfx, whatever that is. I could load it into calibre from the Kindle but I couldn't do anything with it. Calibre didn't recognize the format. What do I need to do?

I have Alf's De DRM tools, which supposedly work on kfx files but I don't know what is happening when they get into calibre. Alf recommends downloading "for transfer via USB," but that option downloads an azw3 file that calibre can't process, so I don't know why he even mentions it.
You'll need to install jhowell's KFX Input plugin to add KFX support to Calibre.

In both cases above though, you still have to configure the DeDRM plugin for it to actually work. You'll need to go to Alf's blog for detailed configuration instructions for the DeDRM tools.
