Can't remove DRM
I have been using caliber for several of my other books right now I'm trying to get it to remove DRM from Amazon books so I can convert them into ePub but there are several books I just cannot remove it from. I am using the latest DRM removal, but I just cannot remove it do any of you other people have books that you just can't remove it from or is it just me?

You should really take this Q to where you got your tools.
MR Policies say we can't help with remove, only point you to DeDRM. |

Answering in general, there are some categories of Kindle books that Amazon always delivers with the latest unbroken DRM. Some examples are textbooks published by Pearson and some English language books published in India. Nothing can be done with those books unless a copy was downloaded before Amazon last updated their DRM.
As stated previously for details about specific books it is best to raise an issue at NoDRM’s GitHub. |

I suspect at some point Amazon will withdraw their support for older devices and only allow books to be transferred to kindles, or downloaded from the website, in KFW format.
At that point, it would not be possible for DRM to be removed. At that stage I would hope Amazon's own library app improves to offer a more sophisticated way of categorising books etc |

I doubt it. The more Amazon is able to lock customers into their platform the less incentive they have to improve the service. Their efforts in recent years have focused more on selling books than on what happens after they are bought. Last edited by jhowell; Today at 10:10 AM. |

But a Kindle user is most likely to be using an App, not a Kindle eink.
I'll stop buying ebooks from Amazon if they discontinue Download and Transfer. There are also scenarios where WiFi isn't allowed, but a browser works. |
