D&T not sending KFX for any device

This was all muddled in with the "why can't I still steal my rentals" complaints, and I am easily confused, so which facts did I miss

  • Except for books only available as KFX, books published before January 3 are still currently able to be downloaded in a format that can be DeDRM'd.
  • Books borrowed from Kindle Unlimited can still be downloaded on K4PC <1.26 if it was published before January 3.

Download and Transfer
  • If you have an e-Ink Kindle, "Download and Transfer" is still available for purchased books, regardless of when they were published. These files can be DeDRM'd.
  • However, books borrowed from Kindle Unlimited are not eligible for Download & Transfer. (Note that authors get paid per page read, which cannot be tracked if a KU book is read offline.)
