1. Downloaded the latest Kindle app (2.3.1 70682).
2. Downloaded the latest Calibre
3. Downloaded the latest DeDRM_Tools from https://github.com/noDRM/DeDRM_tools/

And that didn't work either.

Is there a link documenting the steps I need to take? Do I need, perhaps, an older version of the Kindle app? I've kept version 1.26 but it didn't manage to login.
Did you install the KFX Input plugin for calibre? The newest Kindle app will download KFX format. I would also recommend using the autorelease version of the DeDRM code available from DeDRM_tools_autorelease page.
