The github nodrm maintainer was able to replicate the problem themself. If I'm reading the github threads correctly, there appears to be a key being used that is not tied to the serial number anymore.

So...this advice may have to change.
Yeah, I'm not sure how they did it without updating the software release number. but deDRM in Calibre now only works with generations 3 (kindle keyboard) through 6th gen, and it might work with the 7th generation basic kindle since that has the same software number as the 6th gen (different than the 7th gen PW).

PM me if you're interested in a K3 for downloading - I've got a couple with screen flaws (they work, not cracked, but not as nice for reading) that I'd sell cheap. (in the US)
