Many thanks, that worked great. New books downloaded, no firmware upgrade, and it still works with Calibre.

Good God, the cat-and-mouse with Amazon to stop them from forcibly updating our devices is ridiculous.

If this method catches on, I half expect Amazon will start forcibly deploying firmware updates via diff patches.

Probably not, but... I already have three Kindle Paperwhites - all now essentially decommissioned by Bezos. I used one to download Kindle Unlimited books and then transferred those from that one to my two offline PWs through calibre. I'm not giving them any more money for another Kindle when there was no reason to discontinue support for the old ones other than greed.

We have a Kindle Fire. Is it possible to download ebooks from KU to that and then deDRM them either on that or through calibre?

I did a quick search here, but either don't know what keywords to use or it hasn't been mentioned. Most likely the former.

Fire tablets cannot be used to deDRM books.

In order to remove DRM from Kindle eBooks, the first thing you need is a computer with Windows 11.
