I've run into a couple that were Indian language ebooks where Amazon only offers KFX and a textbook again where Amazon only offers the KFX version. They would download to an eInk Kindle but Download and Transfer was not available.

We'd got KFX for nearly everything on a PW3 via WiFi, till we stopped. We re-downloaded 3 years of purchases of two of us and got azw3 instead for most. Some was azw or mobi.

Anything I ever did manage to get from Amazon before KFX that claimed to be App/K4PC only (download for eink greyed out) turned out to be fixed layout (even when not a wrapped PDF) and was no use on eink due to formatting. One was perfectly viable as regular mobi or azw3, but the idiot wanted to replicate paper exactly for it.
And eBooks for the India market can be KFX even for nothing special formatted eBooks.

This post is probably misplaced, but could ANYONE provide a link to the latest NoDRM plug-in? I have downloaded all of the books purchased since the beginning of the year on a PaperWhite Gen 5 via USB, but the DRM is not being stripped. I'm running Calibre 6.26 and DeDRM 7.2.1, but that's the latest I can find.

The year has been crazy, and I hadn't downloaded my books to Calibre since the end of 2022. This Amazon safeguard is the last straw, and I've decided to never buy another Kindle eBook, but I also don't want to give up the 53 books that they've put the DRM on.
