What version of things should work?

I tried DeDRM 10.0.9 with KFX 2.5.0 on calibre 7.0 on debian yesterday, tried to open a KFX file downloaded earlier.

The file imported fine but when I tried converting it to ePub I'm told: This book is locked by DRM and you cannot read or convert this book in calibre.

Should the above setup have worked?

Or is it Amazon that has clamped down on things again?

Or does it have to be a fresh download using a recent version of kindle? The book was downloaded on November 11 2022, i.e. a year ago (which is probably around the time I gave up buying ebooks on amazon).

Thanks!
