Did you try Method 2 on version 1.21? Then re-download the book? |

Hi all,
Has anyone experienced a difference in Calibre's ability to DeDRM/convert .azw files by whether they are paid for or free? Calibre cannot deal with books I've purchased from Amazon; but ones that I downloaded for free are converted fine. Is there are a way around this, please? I've tried both steps suggested by the thread originator. Best, Sam |

It is likely that the free books do not have DRM. Help with DRM removal is not allowed on MobileRead. I suggest asking for help at the place you obtained the DRM removal software. (Google Apprentice Alf.) |

Calibre only converts, it does not DeDRM. If you're having problems with DeDRM tools, ask for help at the place you got the tools.

Thanks
Thanks a lot. That worked for me with no problem. I actually renamed the renderer-test.exe file in Windows Explorer. I was stuck on using the old Kindle version, but made a mistake and the Kindle automatic update screwed me.
This has be going on for a long time. Will Calibre ever support KFX? |

To some extent it is for your own good. Compared to KFX, The older KF8 (azw3) format is superior for archival and conversion since it better reflects the internal structure of the book as sent to Amazon by the publisher. Though the difference between them in actual readability is slight. A calibre plugin already exists that can convert from KFX to other formats, but it is hampered by lack of support for KFX in the most commonly used DRM removal software. And all KFX books come from Amazon with DRM. |

Method 2 - Disable KFX support in Kindle for PC/Mac
As an alternative, a method is available to prevent versions 1.19, 1.20 and 1.21 from making use of KFX format.
If you keep getting a Terminal error, such as: -bash: mod: command not found Use this instead: sudo chmod -x /Incompatible\ Software/Kindle.app/Contents/MacOS/renderer-test Not sure why, but my Kindle App was buried in a folder called "Incompatible"... I don't really care why. I'm leaving there. Anyways, I can 100% confirm that this method worked for me. |
