Update the list in first post
What is the connection between Feedbooks being shut down and a thread about Amazon and DRM?

Either the admins have removed those duplicate messages from MobileRead or I'm missing them.

The first post lists Feedbooks as an alternative to Amazon for obtaining books.

Given that the first post was over a year ago, it's easy to forget exactly what's in there especially since the relevant part was not quoted.

I want to buy an ebook that's only available from Amazon, and I want to remove the DRM to side load it to my Kobo. I don't own a Kindle device. Back in 2020 I remember being able to do this by using the Windows Kindle app, Calibre, and Apprentice Harper's DeDRM tools. But that doesn't work any more. So I tried the following:

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.

Untill someone more knowledgable comes along, it looks to me like you didn't download the latest DRM removal tools (from what you quoted):

Quote:
The latest version (2.2.x) of Kindle for PC, NoDRM's fork of DeDRM (10.0.9 beta), and KFX Input can now be used! It is also not known how long this method will remain working, so backup your books as soon as possible.

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.

Here's a copy of a post from another site in which the user successfully registered a Kindle Keyboard 3rd gen. Hope it helps someone.

1) to register https://www.amazon.com/gp/help/custo...deId=201819620
2) check for the latest s/w version: https://www.amazon.com/gp/help/custo...MQC26VQQMM8XSW (hopefully that link will stay ok),
3) to manually update your s/w https://www.amazon.com/gp/help/custo...AE5G5UGCYA25DW
4) if you have problems with the login read this: https://www.amazonforum.com/s/question/ ... e-keyboard
5) the hitch with the login and OTP (which I just tried on a lark because it occurred to me that I never did actively enable 2 step verification)... even if you have not enabled 2 step verification on your account, you will likely be sent an OTP. But it won't work to register your device until you enable 2 step verification.on your account. Stupid right? Cuz it does work when logging in on the web. Did the Customer service guy help? no. Claimed that there was a hardware fault, or that the Kindle Keyboard 3rd gen was no longer supported. 'tis a lie. So...

TLDR: Just enable 2 step verification on your account and then when the kindle says it can't find and account associated with your email & <yourpassword> - you'll get an OTP (in whatever method you've set up) then (at least for me) enter <yourpassword>OTP (i.e if your password is ThisIsAP@1n! and the OTP sent is 123456 then enter ThisIsAP@1n!123456 in the password field. If that fails try just the OTP code in the password field.

With 2.4.0, yes. With 2.4.1, no.

Thank you!

I have KfPC ver. 2.2 installed because that's what Pg. 1 of the thread says. I haven't gotten through the 150 other pages of the thread to see what was said about newer versions. Should I update to 2.4.0 now or am I good to work with 2.2? Also, I'm getting an error message trying to install DeDRM 10.0.9 into Calibre 7.17 and I posted that question in this thread ( https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sh...d.php?t=361503) and awaiting moderator approval to release the question and wait for a response. I apologize if I posted that in the wrong thread. I'm still trying to get my bearings in this forum.

If you can download books with 2.2 and Amazon hasn't forced it to update, there's no need to do so yourself. But I'd advise to keep an installer for 2.4.0 handy, just in case.

Thank you. Will grab 2.4.0 installer directly. I have disabled (I think) auto update on my 2.2 install using the .bat file but agree, have 2.4.0 handy.
On my DeDrm plugin problem - do you think I need to go back to one of prior versions 10.0.3, 0.4, 0.5(s) or 0.6(s)?
