Looks like you moved the main book file out of its folder and that's preventing the KFX Input plugin from gathering needed files. If you need more assistance, start an issue at noDRM's github where you got the DeDRM plugin.

Without trying to decypher the log, what format is the source eBook? How did you download it? Do you have the latest DeDRM? What version of calibre?

Success! Not sure why I moved the book out of the original folder but once I re-downloaded and imported the book into Calibre from the original folder it successfully converted the KFX to epub using KFX Input plugin.

Hello everyone,

Apologies if this issue has been addressed before—I’m a new member of this forum and still getting the hang of things.

I recently downloaded Kindle for Mac version 1.40.1 (65526), but when I try to download a book, I receive the following error message: "This app is no longer supported. To view this content, a new and improved Kindle for Mac is now available to download from the Mac App Store."

I’m not sure what I might be doing wrong. Could anyone provide some guidance or suggestions on how to resolve this issue? this is happening to any book in my kindle collection.

Thank you in advance for your help—I really appreciate it!

You cannot install the version 1.40 on a Mac anymore. So you'll either have to buy a cheap, used eink Kindle device to use the Download & Transfer method, or install an old version of the Kindle app for Windows in a Virtual Machine or some similar setup. Read this post for details:

One acquaintance has complained about DeDRM not working anymore since he updated calibre to the latest preview version and the latest alpha version of DeDRM. This is on a Mac Mini. Has anyone else run into this as an issue?
