Okay, I'm trying to nail down what we know and what we still need to confirm. Please let me know if I'm misunderstanding anything or if you can add anything.
The latest Apprentice tools 6.8.0 work with Kindle for PC (and Mac?) version 1.26 and earlier.
KFX downloads can be disabled in Kindle for PC/Mac 1.19-1.24 using the Method 2 in the first post. And Kindle for Mac can continue to be disabled that way through version 1.26 (1.27?) with the extra precautions described in odamizu's post linked under Method 2.
KFX downloads can be disabled in Kindle for PC/Mac 1.28 (current version) with the patches in apprenticesakuya's post above.
----------------
There is an open issue over at the GitHub with someone trying to decrypt a book that appears to be 1.26+ only but they are on a Mac. So does anyone have a good link for Kindle for Mac 1.26?
Also can anyone confirm that a brand new installation of Kindle for Mac and the tools will now work on Catalina? Without needing to update from a working setup on Mojave?
