  • I have a paperwhite gen 11.
  • I have purchased (i.e. the content license) approximately 1800 books from Amazon.
  • I want my ENTIRE library on my kindle

So, I did a factory reset. Which wiped out everything on the Kindle.
And then, using Amazon's Digital content page started selecting all purchased books and chose to download them to my device.

I reached a little over 600 books and then the downloads effectively stopped. In the last two days, no matter how many books I've selected I get nothing.

Books I select directly on the device just stay Queued.

The "pending deliveries" page on Amazon shows books which have been there for 2 days. They haven't been delivered.

I have restarted the device. I've done a hard reset. I've check the wifi connection.

I think amazon may be blocking my downloads. I've spoken to support. They told me to wait. I asked how many days I needed to wait. Didn't get an answer.

I'm stuck. Has anyone else seen this? Has anyone else solved this?


Yes I've read the threads about workarounds to side loading. At this point, I'm tired of fighting. I've been beaten into submission. I just want to download the books I've paid for.
Here's what you should do.

Install calibre and the DeDRM plugin as well as the KFX Input plugin.

Configure the DeDRM plugin by adding your Kindle's serial number. Plug your Kindle into your calibre library. Drag/drop the .KFX or .AZW files into your calibre library. Only do so some at a time. Maybe 20 at a time until you are done. Then check each eBooks to make sure the DRM has been removed. Once validated, do the next batch until you have them all done.

This way you'll get to keep the eBooks you've already downloaded to your Kindle.

Here is the link to the latest version of the DeDRM plugin. https://github.com/noDRM/DeDRM_tools_autorelease/tags
