Other than that, the most likely reason for that is a failure of the DRM removal process. We are not allowed to provide help with that here on MobileRead. You should ask for help at either Apprentice Alf's Blog or Apprentice Harper's GitHub. |

When I recently updated my mac computer to MacOS Mojave 10.14, I got the below message when I first opened Kindle for Mac 1.17 again.
Quote:
I'm assuming that Kindle for Mac 1.17 is a 32-bit app, which means that it will not update with future versions, as Mac is transitioning to 64-bit apps. Quote:

As far as I know even the most recent version of Kindle for Mac is 32-bit. Although the most recent version is 1.24, the Mac App Store still has 1.23, probably because Apple will no longer accept updates to 32-bit apps in the store. I suspect that the next version (1.25?) will be a 64-bit app. Hopefully the workaround to disable KFX will still be possible with that release and it will be a painless upgrade. |

I was unable to add an ebook to Calibre despite upgrading to version 3.33.1, using your KFX tool and using the latest Alf tools 6.6.1.
I am using win 7 pro OS I am getting this error message in Calibre, and cannot get any response from Alf's Blog or GitHub. E-books downloaded directly from amazon website to PC and then aded (or not) to Calibre. Any ideas please? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Failed to read metadata from the file: C:\Users\xxxxx\Downloads\Impaired Sensitivity to Thyroid Hormone (Thyroid Hormone Resistance)_ A Cause of Heart Disease, Cancer, Autoimmune Conditions, Women’s Health Issues, Strokes, ...

As it's an AZW3 file, not a KFX file, it's nothing to do with importing KFX files.
Detailed help with removing DRM isn't available here. You'll have to want for an answer elsewhere. |

If after correcting that a DRM-related error occurs then help should be requested elsewhere. |

Haven't seen your post on the blog or at GitHub. The blog comment might have gotten stuck in moderation/spam -- the filters at Wordpress can be a little overzealous sometimes.

I have updated the first post in this thread to show that methods 2 and 4 will no longer work starting with Kindle for PC/Mac version 1.25, which should be available soon.
Kindle for Mac 1.25 is supposed to be a 64-bit app. |

Thanks for the update.
I'm still using v1.17 and will carry on doing so as long as possible, but as a precaution I've just downloaded v1.24. |

Just to clarify, does this mean the method still works for now with the current FW versions (5.10.x)? Quote:
