Alf's plugin no longer works after Kindle for Mac update

mabelsound · 03-07-2016, 07:10 AM

Quite suddenly, Alf's DeDRM tools plugin no longer works for me, in Calibre for the Mac, when importing books downloaded via the Kindle for Mac app. The ebook files are now AZW rather than AZW3, and can't be converted to EPUB. The tools work fine in the standalone app, when decrypting books downloaded from the Manage My Kindle page, for use with my Kindle Voyage; I can import these easily into Calibre. It's the books in my Mac app library that won't convert on import.

Anyone else having this problem? I'm running the latest versions of Calibre, the plugins, and the Kindle app.

Thanks!

They're third-party plugins, and nothing to do with Calibre developers.

I'd suggest you go looking/asking at the place you got the tools.

Will do. My assumption was that Calibre broke something, though, since the tools work fine in their own wrapper.

You assume wrongly. As you''ll see if you go and read the comments on Alf's blog, it has nothing at all to do with Calibre; it's Kindle for Mac that's changed.

I have version 1.15.0 on my Mac and the tools worked for me yesterday and again this morning.
