duckietigger:
i mis stated: i can export the title out of bluestacks onto a folder on my pc, it is in .prc format, but when i add it into calibre, drm won't remove.

jhowell:
i don't know how i have a problem involving step #2 of the instructions; per the post i used to set this up, as far as i can tell everything is fine.

i do not have calibre setup to somehow retrieve the title out of bluestacks; i just now tried connect/share and that won't work because the title has to be in calibre for calibre companion to retrieve it from calibre and put it into bluestacks' k4pc.

duckietigger again:
i know that v1.17 k4pc on my pc has "keys" installed somewhere in c drive, i didn't stop to think but it makes sense that in bluestacks that version apk of k4pc does the same thing.
from what you're saying, as long as i can successfully get the title into bluestacks' k4pc it should auto un drm ?

i can setup an new bluestacks instance devoted only to k4pc/apk and see what happens in that one.
the k4pc apk is registered to my usual amazom account.

i do not understnad "the plugin still has to do the looking for the key in the backup" - to me this implies somehow calibre is involved and i don't know how to do that.
