I'm not so worried about the security as it doesn't have any financial information on it. And, if Amazon aren't upgrading the firmware that's probably a good thing for me.
So, with a 7th gen paperwhite, I should be able to de-DRM a KFX book? I have the de-DRM plugin (the latest one) and have checked the settings. I've checked the settings of the KFX input and KFX output plugins. Some of the kindle books I own are able to be imported into Calibre as KFX and I can convert them to epub. But there is this one which is a 2025 release which will only come in as a KFX-ZIP. I've followed the same process with all of the books I've tried. I've tried about 6 and have only had trouble with 1 so far.
(It's a Harlequin romance book I bought for less than US$4. It's not so much this particular book, it's more I'm trying to work out if my setup will work going forward or if I need to go buy a kindle touch or something else. I have an extensive library. All of my kindle books are in Calibre so far as I've always put them in as I've bought the books. My concern is for the future. I'm trying to work out if it's feasible for me to buy anything more from Amazon after Feb 26.)
