Hi guys,

I am trying to remove the DRM for a Kindle book using the information in this thread.

Below are the software that I installed:

KindleForPC-installer-1.24.51068.exe
calibre-64bit-4.7.0.msi
DeDRM_tools_6.6.3.zip
KFX Input.zip (latest version 1.26.0 dated December 23, 2019)

The following are the steps I take to remove the DRM:

1. After synchronizing the Kindle For PC software with Amazon's servers, the ebook in question is downloaded to the custom directory.

2. Minimise the Kindle For PC software. Do not shut it down.

3. Launch Calibre software.

4. Install third party plugins such as DeDRM_tools_6.6.3.zip and KFX Input.zip (1.26.0 dated 12-23-2019).

5. Restart Calibre after successful installation of the plugins in (4).

6. Click the button "Add books" --> "Add books from a single directory".

7. Navigate to the custom directory where the Kindle book has been downloaded.

8. The said Kindle book shows up in the list of titles in Calibre.

9. When I double-click on the title, an error message says "This book is locked by DRM. To learn more about DRM and why....."

Your help is much appreciated.
