My Kindle PaperWhite has firmware version "Kindle 5.12.1". Is there a way to get rid of DRM in its ebooks? If not, is the stopper in the KFX format, or in the DRM?

Thanks
Yes, that information is correct. You will not be able to do anything with the KFX files on your device that were added using firmware version 5.10.2 or newer due to new DRM.

You do have other options. See methods 1-3 in this post for alternatives.



Added: There may have been other changes made to the KFX format by Amazon in addition to the new DRM. If a work around is ever found for the DRM problem then I intend to update this plugin to handle any other KFX changes once I figure them out.
