Does this mean the PW2 needs a certain firmware version or lower for DeDRM to work or that it has the earlier KFX that can still be converted? I did see the post regarding firmware versions for the PW3 but I dont know if that also applies to the PW2 or if they share the same firmware.

For reference the Kindle paperwhite 1 wiki page doesnt list KFX support at all. I would assume in the event Amazon disables "Download and Transfer" for purchases that books downloaded directly to a PW1 could still be DeDRM'ed regardless of firmware?
If you have a PW2, your PW2 needs to have firmware that's 5.12.1 or older. My PW2 has firmware that's 5.12.2.2 and it doesn't work. I'm considering reversing the firmware back to 5.12.1 or older for my PW2.
