![]() ![]() Now, without asking, and without my permission, Kindle for PC updated to 1.33, and, in the process (again without asking or even telling), changed the downloaded ebook files in the "My Kindle Content" folder, so that DRM removal doesn't work anymore on them. I always assumed that Amazon was aware that some of their customers wanted to read ebooks on non-Kindle devices, and knew, and tolerated it, that their DRM could be removed. I kept an older version of Kindle for PC, had no problems to de-DRM them, converted them to epub, and read them on my PocketBook reader. I've never had a Kindle, nor do I want to have one, but, over the last few years, I've bought 40 ebooks from Amazon. If you want to remove the DRM you'll need to get detailed DRM removal help elsewhere. If it's a replacement for your wife's Kindle, just register it to her account. You will both be able to access books bought on the other account from your own Kindles. If this new Kindle is for you, on your Amazon account, the simplest solution is to set up Family Library sharing. ![]() ![]() Most Kindle books are "protected" by DRM which ties the book the the particular device they were downloaded for. What steps do I need to take to achieve this? I presume conversion is not possible without some of the steps described here or is there another way? My intention was to copy them to a new Paperwhite 5, however, it seems this is not as simple as I had been led to believe. They are all predominantly in KFX format! I copied my wife's books from a Kindle Paperwhite to a folder on my iMac, installed Calibre and copied those to the Calibre Library. I am a complete novice to Calibre and conversions.
