Hi there

Thanks to the fantastic advice on this forum, I was able to use version 1.17 on a previous computer to convert my Kindle books to PDFs through Calibre.

However, as of today I can no longer use this workaround on my new laptop as all my Kindle books are downloading with DRM protection that Calibre won't convert.

I have tried all of the following steps:

1. Reinstalling version 1.17
2. Using the .bat file to prevent automatic updates
3. Unchecking the automatic update box in the Kindle App
4. Deleting the Amazon registry key
5. Deleting the My Kindle Books folder
6. Reinstalling version 1.17

However, my Kindle books are still downloaded with DRM protection.

In the Kindle PC App itself, it indicates Version 1.17 BUT that the latest update date was 20/05/2022 - is this what is causing the issue?

Any help would be really appreciated!!

Thanks again for all of your support.
