Hi,

I'm sorry if this isn't the right place for this question.

I have a couple of e-books that I purchased from Amazon that can't be downloaded (I get a "You have selected content that is not compatible with any of your registered devices" message).

It looks like these books can be downloaded to Amazon Fire but not to other Kindles.

I assume that I can't bring a book into Calibre if I can't download it. Does this mean that one option would be to buy a cheap, older Amazon Fire and use the download and transfer via USB option, choosing the Fire as my device? Would that work? Is it then likely to be possible to get rid of the DRM for my own use?

Also, is there another way to download the book without having a Fire device?

Thanks!
