AZW Conversion Question
I'm attempting to remove DRM from some of my Kindle books so my spouse can read them on her Nook. This is on a Win 10 PC with Calibre 6.14.1, DeDRM 10.0.3 with KFX plugin installed. I'm downloading the books to the PC app for Kindle 1.40.1

I drop in the azw file and it shows the book cover but file type is shown as KFX-Zip which won't open.

Detailed help on DRM removal isn't allowed on this site.
This thread (where the first post is updated regularly) states the current state of play regarding Amazon books and what works.
For any more detailed help, you will need to go to the DeDRM Github page and ask ther.e

See my post in your other thread.
It’s a good idea not to post duplicates.

After posting I found this sub forum and posted. First, I tried to delete that original post for just that reason but found I could only edit the post and saw no option to delete. The edit button suggests you can delete it but I don't see how.

@sespr, What is happening is that you are downloading KFX. The DRM cannot be removed.

I'm getting the files from My Kindle Content folder and each file is marked as a .azw file type. Are you saying that despite that it's really a KFX file type?

In fact, crossposting is a violation of board guidelines. If a post needs to be moved, it should be reported with a request.

I've reported it. I'm assuming from your comment that I can't delete my own posts?

Possibly on a good day a Moderator can delete a post. You can remove all the content and type All Deleted.

All your ebook downloads will show up as .azw regardles of format (mobi, azw3/KF8, KFX, azw4, etc.). What you want to look for are files with a .voucher filetype ( i.e. amzn1.drm-voucher.v1.188c2f45-4dc2-46b0-be83-5a2d070ad25f.voucher) which will tell you you have a KFX file.
