Thanks.

To make sure I understand, is it only books published after April 2025 and loaded onto a newer device that are uncrackable? Will the process still work for books released prior to April 2025, even if they're loaded on a newer device?

I apologize if I'm a bit behind on the news. Once Amazon got rid of D&T I swore I'd never buy another ebook from them. Consequently, I hadn't kept up with the latest DRM news or bothered testing the process again. It's only because there's a new Amazon exclusive book I wanted that I broke down and partonized them again.
