my lord! "Download & transfer via USB" is not working anymore, because, if the book is in new-kfx format,
you go to amazon page, you click, and there's no "Download & transfer via USB" right now only kf8 kf7 books have this option.... at least that's me |

ePUBee DRM Removal asks now for a number related to your Kindle Device
Hi, everybody. I didn't come here for a while.
I want to tell you that I recently bought a Kindle eBook. I do it very occasionally. My e-reader is a Kobo Aura H2O, which I love. I usually use the software “ePUBee DRM removal" in order to get rid of the DRM, after what I can use a file in Calibre, and send it to my Reader. The fact it's that it doesn't work anymore. It can probably work if you own a Kindle reader, because now "ePUBee DRM removal" asks for a number related to you Kindle device. As I don't own any Kindle I can't do it As a consequence, I won't buy Kindle ebooks anymore. Too bad, because it was sometime convenient. That said, by the way, if someone has a solution, I'm interested, otherwise it doesn't really matter. Thanks. |

Could you give a link to a book for which you've found this to be true?

That option will not be available for books that are KFX-only. Currently this is true for books in Arabic and the Indian languages. (It also appears to be true for the Traditional Chinese books just announced by Amazon.)

I discovered the renderer-test approach isn't working for all books. I just tried it with the collected works of Arthur C. Clarke and it failed. I had to go back to 1.12.4. Then I downloaded 1.23.1 and that still worked. I am building up a collection of kindle versions!

I couldn't find 1.25.1 but I found 1.23, I installed it and reinstalled the books on the MAC) DeDRM is working and conversion (with Calibre) works too. I did not have to re-register the device/application with Amazon (last time I did it was ages ago) I suggest you install the latest Kindle (1.26.1) - register your kindle app it then remove the application (with an application uninstaller) and then install 1.23. Good luck. |

Thanks guys for your good infos. For the moment I won't dig that out, because I don't have many time and because the Kindle ebook which I couldn't get rid of the DRMs with the software I mentioned, was eventually refunded by Amazon. I do not really need to go further for now. I'll do it may be later
Thanks a lot sorry for the several stupid faults in my last post; I read it again and I saw it. too bad. impossible to correct after a while. really sorry. |

I got tired of trying to fight the Kindle Mac app. I finally caved and now I'm doing Method 3. I purchased a refurbished 8th gen. It's so much easier now. And I like Kindle. I always knew I would. However, I never had one before because I think they are too much money for a single purpose device. But the refurb was the right price. But this Kindle for Mac fiasco pushed me over the edge. So I just wanted to say thank you very much for all of your effort.
