Not really, I don't share the books and can't read them in the allotted item...

Jhowell moved his discussion of the change in DRM to a different thread. His short summary of the effect of the new firmware on DRM appears in this post

UPDATE - Nevermind - the book I was able to remove the DRM for had been downloaded to my Colorsoft before I updated it to 5.18.5. I tried it with a newly downloaded book and it doesn't work.

Today, Calibre had an update (8.11.1) and I was able to remove the DRM.

Any kindle that supports css.
47px works well on a 300dpi Kindle.

Now if you are using KF8 (AZW3) format eBooks, you can get even more text on screen by using myu ChareInk7SP font. The font can be found at https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sh...d.php?t=184056 and you get a smaller line height and a lot more text on screen. Also, if you use the Hyphenate This! plugin, you can add soft hyphens to the text and get hyphenated text on screen for less gaps. It works very well on a Kindle using KF8.
