For the heck of it, I downloaded some previously purchased ebooks (2 from Baen, 1 from Tor) with a new install of K4PC 1.39 and they were downloaded in DRMmed KFX format. The descriptions for the books on Amazon.ca included "At the publisher's request, this title is sold without DRM (Digital Rights Management). for Baen and "At the Publisher's request, this title is being sold without Digital Rights Management Software (DRM) applied." for Tor.

Perhaps you should re-read my message? Pay special attention to the words "new install of K4PC 1.39 and they were downloaded in DRMmed KFX format".

I repeated this experiment by downloading one for my Fire.
Of course if you need to remove the DRM, Fire will not work.
But the DRM free message is accurate enough. It just doesn't extend to the content that's downloaded to the device or app in question.

Perhaps you could pay more attention to the messages you are replying to? The message from ownedbycats that I replied to specifically mentioned KFX. You know, the format that is only available with DRM? The only format that I mentioned testing?
Oddly when I look at the book info on Amazon, there is no verbiage added after the publisher's DRM free message (see my post for the precise messages) to say "unless you download it in KFX in which case we will DRM the crap out it."
Perhaps you could try syncing the content so it is delivered directly to your devices as KFX and let us know if it still does not have DRM?
Ghod knows that I have mentioned enough time in previous posts that Download and transfer via USB for an non-Scribe Kindle, it arrives as a .azw3 file that DeDRM can deal with. Of course, that does require you to own and register a Kindle eInk device that is not a Scribe.
