For the record, note that Kovid Goyal and calibre have nothing at all to do with DRM solutions. All DRM removal software is third-party, and not developed by Kovid Goyal in any way.

The second is conversion of non-DRM KFX to a more useful format. I believe that this would be difficult, but doable. I doubt that anyone is going to bother working on that unless the DRM problem is solved first. For now the best long(-ish) term solution is to avoid KFX by purchasing an older e-ink Kindle device.

Just downloaded my latest Kindle book and unfortunately it won't load into Calibre. I get the message as discussed up-thread of KFXError: This is an Amazon KFX book. It cannot be processed.
The Kindle book subdirectory has the bookname.azw file along with a amzn1.drm-voucher.v1 file, so I guess I'm out of luck. I'm not inclined to mess with old versions of the Kindle program, it eventually will just end up confusing me or stop working once they change something else, so I will hold out hope that Calibre will start working again someday. Too bad for sure. Calibre was so great, for so long, keeping all my books organized. |

I buy the book and it miraculously lands in my PC Kindle application and in my e-reader. It all nicely keeps itself up to date with the latest versions. I click Add-Books in Calibre and it loads into that application, and I use it to keep track of my authors, books, searches, etc. That's all I know I'm afraid. ltr |

That file will load into calibre just fine. If you want to remove the DRM as well, you'll need to read the instructions that came with the DRM removal plugin. |

![]() I think Calibre needs some sort of popup that directs users what to do when they encounter one of these books that won't download. ltr |

Is anyone able to register kindle version 1.17 anymore? I've tried downloading it from several links but when I go to tools -> register; and enter my amazon email and password I get a number of different errors, mostly asking me to enter a captcha, but nothing I do gets past the login screen. Any ideas?

I'd open a fresh web page, log into Amazon, and change my password, if I were you. |

I have updated the first post to no longer recommend uninstalling K4PC 1.19 and to include the possible deregister workaround using the Amazon website.

I uninstalled my current version of kindle 4 pc, installed the latest straight from amazon (https://www.amazon.com/gp/kindle/pc/download), registered successfully, then opened the installer for 1.17.44183 (from the links to amazon's website) and it promptly opened up kindle set to version 1.17 and downloaded books in .azw format once more. Success!
Although you do have to wonder how long this will work. Will I be forced to buy a kindle e-ink just to get useful files? |
