Yes, Amazon has introduced new DRM in recent firmware releases, version 5.18.6 for Scribes and version 5.18.5 for other newer Kindle models.

No, the DeDRM plugin handles DRM removal, not KFX Input.

The new DRM makes use of a secret stored in a location that is inaccessible unless your Kindle is jailbroken. And even with a jailbroken device there is currently no method available to remove this new DRM.

See the Dealing with Kindle ebooks in calibre thread for information about the few remaining workable methods of handling Kindle books.

Yes there is. You need to get a Kindle that has no more new firmware updates. So get a Kindle in the range of a Kindle 3/Kindle Keyboard up to a Paperwhite 1. Do not get a newer Kindle that can install the latest firmware. Then you can use that Kindle to remove the DRM and transfer to your Scribe.

I have an old Kindle paparwhite 5th Gen EY21 that download AZW and AZW3 and not the new KFX. But with Calibre I can't deDRM anyway. Do you know if there is a new plugin or another trick. Thanks

As far as I know nothing has changed regarding DRM for older Kindle models such as that one. Make sure that you have correctly entered the serial number of the Kindle into the DRM removal plugin. Other than that ask for help at the site hosting that plugin.
