Exclamation Free ebooks not loading in Fire HD 8 (10th Generation)?
I've got a report that mobi files from Project Gutenberg and other free ebook providers (I run Unglue.it and help with PG) are failing to load on the new Fire HD 8 (10th Generation) with the error message: "Invalid item. This item is protected by DRM and cannot be read on your Fire. Please remove the item from your device and download it again or purchase a copy from the Kindle Store".

I found an old thread https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sh...d.php?t=324986 where a similar error could be fixed with a factory reset, but the new Fire appears to be resistant to this fix.

Can anyone confirm this issue?

Eric
