On 17 May I was directed to these instructions to get around the latest Amazon DRM matter. I set up the Kindle for Android Emulation using BlueStacks 5 on a Windows 10 PC. It was not an easy process for someone with my very modest IT skills, but with multiple help I got there. Previously I had used Kindle 1.17.0 for PC and Calibre, and life was good until I made an Amazon purchase I could not de-DRM and which required me to upgrade Kindle for PC.

Having installed to Kindle for Android emulation in BlueStacks, I finally got it working, and I was able to import them into my PC and then to Calibre, where the DRM was removed. All good.

Then yesterday I purchased another Amazon ebook, followed the same process and imported the *_EBOK.prc file to my PC, but now Calibre cannot remove the DRM.

Any suggestions?
