There was no real file to be seen in the content folder so I then downloaded the file from Amazon again straight to my 2020 Oasis. (The first time wifi has ever been turned on). I then transferred the .kfx file to my computer.
I tried to import to Calibre but when it imported it is kfx-zip, which means it did not DRM. I'm using dedrm v10.0.9 and kfx-zip and kfx-input are 2.23.0
Are there any next steps I can take or has Amazon beaten us?
To import from a physical Kindle, connect it directly to calibre. If you use the intermediary step of saving the file to your computer, it won't work. The file must be imported directly to calibre from the Kindle.
