Also, I suggest you read this post about dealing with Kindle for PC and KFX:

To answer your question, My Calibre version is 5. 34.0 and the DeDrm plugin is DeDrm 7.2.1
I found that for some reasons I had two Kindle apps : v. 1.17 and v.1.24. I uninstalled v . 1.24 and registered v. 1.17. After that I was able to remove the DRM from some of the books ( not from all) by going to the Cloud library and clicking on the DONLOAD tab on the menu.

The books got into the My Kindle contents directory and from there I dragged them into Calibre. The DRM removal only worked for half of the books, though.

Unlike before, these books are no longer AZW or KFX-Zip. They are either AWZ3 or Mobi. In an attempt to get the DRM removed on the remaining books, I thought to go again to the Cloud library and re-download them in to the same My Kindle contents library, as I had done the first time.

Unfortunately the DOWNLOAD feature is no longer in the Cloud books menu and I don’t know how to re-download them.

I didn’t try the other ways you suggested, because they seem too involved. I only made sure that the automatic update is off.


Thanks for your help
