The DRM was removed.

Even Kindle eBooks released after April 22, 2025, work without any issues—that's all.
I don’t understand why nobody else thought of such a simple idea.

I don’t have any Kindle eBooks with the "super-strong" KFX DRM, so I can’t comment to that.
Folks did that with K4A 8.51, but that version no longer downloads any ebooks at all. I'm pretty sure 8.53 won't last long either.
