The problem is that Kindle eBooks published January 3, 2023 or later have to be downloaded with the latest version of Kindle. With the latest Kindle app, you can only get KFX and KFX cannot have the DRM removed. Buying Kindle eBooks published before January 3, 2023 can be downloaded with an older version of Kindle and have the DRM removed.
