I believe I'm set up correctly to convert KFX-zip books in Calibre, but conversion attempts for one book result in a "the book is locked by DRM" error.

I've only got two KFX-zip books in my Calibre library. One converted with no problem in October. But the one I just sideloaded produces the DRM error.

My setup:
Calibre 4.5.0, DeDRM 6.6.3, KFX Input 1.25.0, and KFX Output 1.35.0 are all installed.

(As I had added the book to calibre before updating the KFX input and output plugins, I removed the book and sideloaded it after updating the plugins but the conversion still failed due to the DRM error. This was a tip I read in this forum.)

Thanks for any help in converting this book.
