New version of DRM removal tools ("DeDRM") - Page 63

apprenticeharper · 10-20-2017, 03:52 AM

I've just released DeDRM 6.5.5 at github.

This update DOES NOT include the ability to import KFX files.

But it does fix a long-standing problem with Kindle for PC and WIndows user names with non-ASCII characters.

'Thanks for maintaining these tools

What I've always wonder about: is Apprentice Alf himself still active?

Alf's blog is still updated when there's a new release.

I know; but what I mean is: is Alf himself still writing code? Or are there multiple "Apprentices" now, of whom ApprenticeHarper is the one on Mobileread?

I have the newest version of Kindle for PC. Will this latest update for deDRM work on that latest version? Or is it necessary to get an older Kindle for PC version?

I guess it is, as "This update DOES NOT include the ability to import KFX files."

But if I understand it well, it will still work on the previous Kindle for PC version? So I could just download/install that one and it will work? (Disabling automatic updates of course.)

Lode,

I see that Apprentice Harper has a new release of the DeDRM tools with initial KFX support. Thanks!

That makes my KFX Input conversion plugin for calibre much more useable.

Exciting!! Thanks for the heads-up jhowell and thanks for all your work on the KFX Input plugin.

And, of course, thank you to Apprentice Harper and everyone else who has contributed to the tools!
