And frankly, I think this is going in the wrong direction. I have no idea what technical obstacles are in the way, but I am absolutely certain that leaving open at least the possibility to run the latest operational version of DeDRM with the latest operational version of Calibre would be a very good move.
A bit late to the party, are we? As for the issues with the DeDRM plugin, 6.8.0 was written in Python2 and calibre 5 uses Python3 which means that DeDRM needs good chunks of the code rewritten before it will work with calibre 5. That work is in progress but it's going to take a while. If nothing else, there are portions of the code that are not easy to follow much less re-write. And I am using K4PC 1.29 with no problems to download books from Amazon and import to calibre.
