Method 2a has also been blocked. Kindle for PC 2.4.0 no longer allows book downloads, and although downloads still work with Kindle for PC 1.17, DRM removal is no longer possible.

Eh? 2.4.0 downloads books perfectly well here (unless they were published after April 22, of course). And DRM can also be removed.

Amazon has blocked older versions of K4PC from downloading eBooks published after April 21, 2025 and KU eBooks. But for eBooks older K4PC can download, you can remove the DRM.

If you can download it with Kindle for PC 1.17, then it can be DeDRMed.

(If you just removed the book from Calibre, then re-added it to Calibre, try removing it from your Kindle and downloading a fresh copy to your Kindle. Wait for each book to complete downloading before moving on to the next one. If that doesn't work, post in the KFX Input plugin thread as jhowell will likely be interested in this.) ETA: The above applies to "regular" ebooks, not textbooks or other special cases where DeDRM doesn't work. Last edited by odamizu; 06-05-2025 at 04:10 PM. |

I just brought up a copy of K4PC 2.40 (70904) in a new VM and it is still able to download books published before 2025-April-22 and calibre is able to import and remove DRM from them (the KFXInput plugin and correct DeDRM plugin are installed).

Etextbooks and other books with the tougher DRM have been blocked from downloading to Kindle for PC. This is likely because it turns out they did work with the new method. So now those books can only download to apps and devices where DRM cannot be removed -- mobile apps, Kindle for Mac, and Fires.

I suppose this was just a matter of time (and it may not even be the first): A Chrome extension that captures content directly from Amazon's web reader and converts it to EPUB format — GitHub and Reddit
(I have not tried it, nor do I intend to, but thought I'd throw it out there in case anyone is interested.) |
