I'm using Kindle for the Mac version 7.17.1 currently. Last week, I did a group conversion of all of my books (290) and every one of the converted to EPUB perfectly. Since then, I purchased the book (that I'm having issues with) that is AWZ4 and can't get it converted. I've spent a bunch of time and I'm about ready to move on.

Thank you all for your help!
But you didn't use Kindle for Mac to download that AZW4, as I understand. You used Download & Transfer, and because that book can only be downloaded for a Fire tablet, you won't be able to deDRM it this way. You'll need to download it again using Kindle for Mac (the classic version, not the one you're using).

And then extract the PDF. AFAIK, azw4 can't be converted.

It can, but that works about as well as converting a PDF does

That's because you are converting a PDF.

As we've explained, you'll need to download it with Kindle for Mac 1.40.

He said he was trying to convert an azw4. I was just pointing out that he should be *extracting* the PDF from the azw4, not *converting* it to epub.

They'll never be able to do anything with the copy that's for a Fire. If they ever download it with an older Kindle for Mac, then they'll be able to remove the DRM and use "From KFX" or KindleUnpack as needed.

I've just purchased a new Kindle book and downloaded it from my content (as an AWZ3). I have 2 of the suggested plug-ins on my latest version of Calibre.

Why won't it remove the DRM? I'm sure I'm doing something wrong....

Yes, I've successfully removed the DRM from 290 books. Then today, I purchased a book on Kindle and tried to move it into Calibre, and it won't convert.

You didn't download it for your Fire tablet, by any chance?

When I downloaded it to my Mac, I did select the Fire Tablet in the "Download and Transfer to USB" page in the content download section of Amazon's site.

It is the only Kindle device I own.

But a Fire is NOT a Kindle and unfortunately there lies your problem.

You can't deDRM with the Fire. If you managed to do this before, then those books probably had no DRM at all.

If you have no eink Kindle, then you'll have to use Method 2 in the first post. Method 1 doesn't work with a Fire.

Kindle for Mac version 7.x will NOT work. You need Kindle for Mac 1.40.1. (See Method 2 in the first post.)
