Hello: I purchased a kindle title that amazon saysonly able to download title to subset devices -- bunch of kindle devices, plus (kindle for android, and kindle for iPad ) allowed but does not list either kindle for Mac or kindle for PC. I am hoping others know about this delimma as it appears relevant for certain type of kindles eg foreign languages like Arabic, or Italian.

The title is in Arabic.

Attempted to download to the android,And received amazon message "must upgrade to receive this title".
Upgraded to 8.11, and title downloaded to android. File format the resulted is this KFX.

It seems it is not possible to dedrm my title as this title cannot be downloaded to kindle for PC or kindle for Mac (and I do not own a physical kindle device).( The dedrm tools no longer have anything for kindle android later than 4.8). Is this correct?

Or is there another kindle for android version that works, or some other new method -- I ask as j Howell says in the KFX input plugin thread the kfx input plugin only works on kindle for android 8.11 and earlier. Implies some hope... maybe..

Thankyou for your assistance.
