Now I know I will no longer be able to do this from 20th May 2026. Just wondering if I would be able to still do this with a more up to date Kindle or as I am afraid, it's a no, and it won't be possible. ��
Amazon is able to tinker with the firmware from remote for your newer Kindles. So they can change the DRM for KFX. That means that most (or all) remaining Kindle that handle KFX may not be able to have the DRM removed.
