Kindle for Android and Kindle for iOS are kept up-to-date with KFX format features and the latest DRM.

It used to be possible to obtain Kindle books in KF8 (azw3) format with removable DRM using Kindle for Android up to version 4.17 released in 2015. There are still some instructions on how to make use of it in the DeDRM plugin documentation.

The DeDRM FAQ indicates that using Kindle for Android is no longer possible and recommends using Kindle for PC/Mac instead. Now that things have changed it might be worth tracking down an old APK to see whether or not it can still be made to work.
