Hi everyone,

I cannot believe how complicated this is. First and last time I'm buying a book from Amazon

In the meantime, I really need to convert the one I got, but I'm afraid I am completely stuck. I've tried methods 1 and 4 so far:
Method 1: I installed Kindle 1.17, couldn't log in, deregistered the newer Kindle in my Amazon account, waited, tried again, it still didn't work... I reinstalled it, it still didn't work... Am I missing something?
Method 4: I installed the KFX Input plugin in my Calibre. I couldn't install the DeDRM plugin, however, as it requires at least Calibre 5.0, but the installer refuses to work because I am still using Windows 7...

Before trying to jump through more hoops, I thought I'd ask: do I have any hope of getting anywhere with method 2?

What would you recommend?

Thank you.
