ETA: I did more experimenting and discovered that I am still able to "deliver" books to my K4BNT by going to Amazon's website and going through Content Library > Books > Deliver or remove from device. Then when I go to my K4BNT and sync, the book will be delivered, though I had to restart it one more time.

However, if I navigate to the book on my K4BNT itself (Archived library) and click on it, it will not download.
Multiple people have said in multiple threads (this is the 3rd one I've seen that you've posted this to) that their K3s and K4s are working fine. I think it's just you. I suggest you factory reset it, even though reregistering it is a pain in the ass.

The battery costs $15.

I posted in the calibre thread with mentions in 2 other related threads with a link to the calibre forum, thinking people would click the link and discuss there (which was the point of my providing the link). But I guess that was too complicated.

I'm only aware of the NewPower99 battery, which at the time cost ~$50 with shipping (and today costs ~$45 with shipping). Where are are you finding the battery for $15?

Dear Customer,

Thank you for being a longtime Kindle customer. We're glad our devices have served you well for as long as they have. Starting May 20, 2026 — 14 to 18 years after their initial launches — we are discontinuing support for Kindle devices released in 2012 or earlier. Here's what this means for you:

All they were doing was processing the order for a AZW or Mobi format. WFD

Basically, Amazon is trying to make it even more difficult to have the DRM removed.

And force use of a bloated, unarchival, dead end format.

That too. KFX is not good. Amazon could have had all of the enhanced formatting done by the KF8 rendering software instead of KFX.

As I've said, KFX was created just so Amazon can control the DRM.
