I did. And KFX Input only is not enough. Calibre says it's DRM protected.

So that DRM-free is really misleading and Amazon doesn't want to clarify that to authors easily. They even didn't answer me, yesterday, in a surreal chat. Fine. So, at least now I know what to say to my readers. Kind of: "Sorry, but Amazon lies"… Even if in some very hidden document somewhere, in the Amazon maze help pages, I figure there should be a small writing specifying the checkbox “Add Digital Rights Management (DRM) to inhibit unauthorized access to, or copying of, digital content files. Note: This cannot be changed after publication.” doesn't mean they are NOT applying a DRM, if you don't tick it. It means they DO apply it and laugh at the author behind his back.

So, my Kindle ebooks are all with DRM even if I published them DRM-free and the Amazon agent yesterday told me it doesn't have a DRM.

I'm an idiot. Checked.
