* Delete or rename file [KindleDirectory]\application\render-test.exe
* Install Calibre 4.23 or less. DO NOT UPDATE to version 5.
* Install Apprentice Alf's DRM plugin from https://apprenticealf.wordpress.com/

Apprentice Alf's DRM plugin is not currently compatible with Calibre version 5

I wonder how long we will be able to get away with not updating Kindle for PC v1.24.3? Amazon is already trying to force you to update.

**What will we do when Amazon stopps supporting Kindle for PC v1.24.3? Any ideas?**

I think that covers it.
I assume there is a typo in the bolded part? the file should be called "updates"?
