DRM workaround: Kindle for Android

[Sats]

For me personally, on Kindle 2.7.1, the following books are downloading as azw6(?) after relogin (they are older books, not comics, so I assumed it was because of age):
B00VZZ085G
B01A6G9AOE
B01M61KOEN
B0CV957NKN

I am too lazy to discern their titles, and some seem to be missing from amazon/ "out of print"

I was also told, and did not confirm due to them being different region (german), that the following newer titles came as AZW6:
B0F6GPFZPJ
B0DLX13RJ4
B0DYQ1S85X

I was under the impression that azw6 files were higher resolution image files that came as a companion to azw3 downloads.

AFAIAA, K4A downloads prc files which can contain mobi or azw3 content.

Maybe, I am not familiar enough with various amazon formats to tell.

As an unrelated aside, did anybody in the last 50 pages play with this script?
It seems to be pretending to be K4A to get (kfx) books without installing Bluestacks, etc, in a manner similar to what BookFab does for K4PC. I wonder if the apis still work.

i have used it in the past and in the last few days too (and just now to test it again). as of this moment, the software itself is still working (but we will see in a few days)

Hmm, I cannot seem to go through their "2FA challenge" to login. Not sure I want to bother. I wonder if restricting its voucher types if you bump up app version would still work? Or even... substituting them with K4PC vouchers?

I tried the first of those and it downloads in KFX format to my install of Kindle for PC version 2.7.1.

Amazon generally locks books in at whatever version was current at the time of purchase. If you acquired that book a while ago the version you have may be an older one that is not be available in KFX format.

How would you mark all titles for (bulk) download, or otherwise automate that?

You could try setting your K4A instance as the default device on Amazon.

Thanks, indeed this can be set as standard through www . amazon.*/hz/mycd/digital-console/devicedetails?deviceFamily=KINDLE_APP
but doesn't make a difference as the app won't fetch (more) titles even when synced (not sure how often it does automatically, 10+ minutes anyway which we may not have today),
so then www . amazon.*/hz/mycd/digital-console/contentlist/booksAll/dateDsc/ to tick All i.e. 25 per page (proceeding to the next keeps selection, so you can deliver larger batches - any way to display more at a time?)
afterwards third button to Deliver to device,
tick Kindle 8.51.1.0 (incl. warning it may not be compatible to have all titles delivered) and "Apply changes",
wait for the pop-up that a delivery request for "a title" has been sent,
then click More > Sync on the Android Nougat app(s) delivered to:
(Only then) download(s) will start within a minute approx., with BlueStacks popping up to the OS only a repeated number rather than the titles (you'll also see the book icon top left blink for any it does get).
This is the Hail Mary: Many won't make it though www . amazon.*/hz/mycd/digital-console/contentlist/queuedForDelivery/dateDsc/ stays erroneously empty, and the pages where you ticked them for delivery may show them as on device initially only to revert minutes later.
Rinse and repeat until T.H.E.Y. pull the plug during this day.

Kindle 4.16.0.75 on my physical Android terminates after 0-5 titles at (or before even displaying) "Checking for new items and syncing", i.e. is rendered useless once made the target of bulk delivery.
They do show up as (only one by one, requiring 3 clicks each, not bulk-)cancelable Attempted Deliveries, with diacritics strangely displayed as readable HTML Entity names in their titles, at the above URL after a few hours at l(e)ast, making it possible to get that app version out of its crash loop - but lacking all titles Amazon wrote it'll be barred from receiving after today: So they'll never sell to that (sole) color device we ever read on again.

I created a new collection containing all Kindle eBooks in my Kindle library to set up a download queue.
Adding 3,000+ Kindle eBooks 25 at a time through the web browser was a bit tedious—a smarter person might’ve automated it, but I ended up doing it manually anyway.

I started listening to the Brandenburg Concertos while working and reached the No.4 by the time I finished, so it didn’t take *that* long.
I also checked for available updates on all Kindle eBooks and downloaded any that were ready.

Last night, I had to reinstall Windows due to software error. After, using Bluestack/K4A method, it no longer works for me. New kindle app is downloading multiple KFX files instead of PRC.
Is it just me or something has changed?

Although I am new to this, according to what I have been reading, this method would only work until the 26th.

For me, the K4A workaround worked at 10AM PST today but it no longer worked at 8PM. I got an ! on a book when I clicked on it to download and when I tried to open one for reading, it did a popup about Book not available on this app version.

Thank you for replying.
It looks like another method is gone.
