You are not going to be able to remove DRM from a book that was downloaded in KFX format using Kindle for PC version 1.28. That version of K4PC uses a form of DRM that the DeDRM plugin cannot handle.

There are solutions that will work to be able to import that book. The easiest is to disable KFX format in Kindle for PC and download the book again. See Method 2 in the post Dealing with Kindle for PC/Mac 1.19 (and later) and KFX in calibre. (Use the alternate method that works with more recent versions of Kindle for PC linked in the second paragraph.)

Uninstall your existing Kindle app. Download and install Kindle app v1.17 and be sure to set the preference to -never- upgrade automatically. (Keep a copy of that installer handy in case you need to reinstall it at some future time.) Then re-download your books from Amazon and you'll be provided with the version of the book that has the older DRM tech which Calibre (with the appropriate plugin) -can- deal with (meaning can strip the DRM from the book). Then you may do whatever conversions you wish.

Edit: Here's a link for the v1.17 app

Others have reported problems registering older versions of Kindle for PC. It works for some people and not others. The reason for this is unknown.

As I stated in my previous post, I recommend using the "alternate" method described under Method 2 to disable KFX downloads. That will work with even the most recent version of Kindle for PC available from Amazon.

Hi everyone.
right now I have a Kindle but I wanted to buy a Kobo libra 2.
Since I would like to buy books I have a three options:
1) Amazon
2) Kobo Store
3) third party stores with adobe DRM (.acsm)

Right now I don't have any issue removing amazon DRM, but I don't know how good noDRM 10.0.2 works with Kobo and Adobe DRM. Do you have any experience? Where should I buy books in order to remove them easily?

That question is totally off topic for this thread.

The newest version of Kindle for PC/Mac that can be used in conjunction with this plugin is 1.26.

If your book requires a later version you will have to try disabling KFX format in that app. See this thread: https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sh...d.php?t=283371

However that won’t help if your book is one that is only available in KFX.

By registry its windows system program, registry its not option you find in Kindle. Here how to lauch windows registry:
How do I access Windows registry?
Click Start or press the Windows key . In the Start menu, either in the Run box or the Search box, type regedit and press Enter .

Be extremely careful with what changes you do in windows registry.

The magic trick to make old kindle version to download 1 single file - that caliber plugin drm remove is able to work with - you just update 1 existing registry key:
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Amazon\Kindle\User Settings]
"isKRFDRendererSupported"="false"

Good evening,
I'm receiving "This book has DRM" error.
MacOS 10.15.7
Kindle 1.26.1
Calibre 5.40
I have installed DeDRM and KFX Input.
I've run 'sudo chmod -x'.
I'm unsure what else I can do.
Should I attempt using Kindle 1.30?
