They were correct that several old methods (the easiest and most widely used in the past) really no longer work. But that doesn't mean there aren't any working methods. True, I know about those methods only because I regularly visit MobileRead, so it's possible they're not as well known as some of the old methods were.

And one method is more difficult then the old way.

Where is the best spot (page,link) to pick up instructions on calibre addons for this method above. I would purchase the oasis just for this reason. thx for the info.

In short, you'll need the deDRM 10.0.9 or alpha and the KFX Input plugin.

I believe that Amazon discontinued the Oasis some time ago.

There are some used ones available through eBay but the ones I saw are very pricey for such an old eReader. Amazon seems to have some used ones available at much lower prices.

You are best to get a Kindle PW1 or earlier but not not the DX/DXG, K1, or K2. These Kindles do not read KFX. So you'll mostly get KF8 and sometimes Mobi.
