Unfortunately, The Only Fix I Found
In reply to the prior post, yes I did re-download in 1.24. Still didn't fix it.
I have so far found the only fix was to use reflect and restore from a system backup from a week ago (before this happened). Apparently when Kindle did the forced upgrade, it made changes in my system that even uninstalling and re-installing didn't fix. So far everything seems to be working except for an oddball book that the DeDRM work on. My books now come in the AZW format and no more KFX-ZIP. Maybe someone out there knows what Kindle did to force the ZIP format. I got a .bat file from someone on GitHub that is suppose to block the forced update and so far it seems to work. I run it every time before I get books. Unfortunately, I forgot to save the link to it before I did that restore so I can't give it to anyone here. Just have to go to DeDRM on github and find it. I don't feel right in posting the file here because I'm no the author and I don't know if that would be OK to do. Hopefully someone can figure out what Amazone did to the systems to force that system change and how to remove it. I'm not that good. Here's keeping my fingers crossed that fixes will happen shortly. |

KFX-ZIP is what you get when DeDRM didn't work on a KFX format book. AZW is the generic extension Kindle for PC/Mac uses for all of the various Amazon formats.

Slow To Catch On
OK, now I understand. Guess I'm a little dense sometimes. I thought it was Kindle doing it.
Anyway, for now I'm OK. Did just use 4.23 Portable to take care of an oddball book. Thanks. |

Does anyone know anything new?
When will DeDRM be updated? Has ApprenticeAlf said anything? If this is all documented somewhere please point me in the right direction? |

From your content & devices page, choose download & transfer via usb and pick your Paperwhite. And no, Kindle for Android won't work. Amazon closed that workaround a while ago.

DeDRM 7.1.0 is now available for Calibre 5.xx.
Thanks to pdurrant for updating my original post for more accurate. |

If I'm upgrading from calibre 4.whatever and the old version of DeDrm will I need to reput my kindle ID. Or will it import my settings from the old version.
