Amazon has released Kindle for PC and Mac version 1.29.
The What's New screen has the generic "stability improvements and bug fixes." In my quick test of Kindle for PC I did not notice any obvious differences from the previous version. Because the software has changed I doubt that the patch from apprenticesakuya to disable KFX will still work on this version. I am curious to learn whether the other workaround to avoid KFX on the Mac will function. |

Also, a lot of Hindi books (not necessarily textbooks) are not downloadable with KindleForPC 1.26. I will be eagerly awaiting the crack of KFX v4

Curious if Amazon released this version simply to thwart apprenticesakuya's patch on PC. Last edited by odamizu; 07-08-2020 at 02:48 AM. |

Thank you
Couldn't get a Kindle book converted in Calibre with the latest verion of "Kindle for PC". Got the 1.70 version, checked the SHA-256 hash, and installed it.
Works perfectly - thank you. |

Comment over at Alf's blog saying they found themselves logged out of Kindle for Mac 1.17 on a Mojave VM, and then they couldn't log back in. I'm still logged in and able to download books with Kindle for PC 1.17 on Windows 10. Anyone having issues?
ETA: The person over at the blog came back to say they got it sorted. So it looks like it was a false alarm for now. Last edited by lkmiller; 07-08-2020 at 03:26 PM. Reason: update |

Ugh.
Just now my Calibre failed to deDRM an azw file for the first time in a long while. Mac OS 10.15.4 Calibre 4.13.0 Kindle for Mac 1.27.0 I'm currently downloading the newest Calibre, and I'll be catching up on the latest developments in this thread real soon, so I don't really expect any advice from you guys right now. I'm just bitching 'cause it's annoying! |

I just ran Kindle 1.71.1 for Windows and I got a requester asking if I wanted to update to 1.29 and I was able to decline. Maybe you got the same requester and accidentally allowed the update..

Since first book on your list was under a dollar I bought a copy and tried it on my Windows 10 PC using Kindle for PC version 1.26. I was able to download it in KFX format without any error.
I can't explain why it does not work in your system. Possibly something to do with the VM? |
