**UPDATE: 29 October ** UPDATE 1: The Kindle for Mac 1.40.x no longer works and shows the error, "This app is no longer supported.". The current version, Kindle for Mac 7.x, has limited compatibility with calibre via the KFX Input plugin. You can download Kindle for Mac 7.x from the Mac App Store. To import eBooks, go to User > Library > Containers > Kindle > Data > Library > eBooks, and add the .azw8 file to calibre (ignore the other files). If the file imports as KFX, it’s compatible; if it imports as KFX-ZIP, sadly this book will not get converted. UPDATE 2. If you're seeing any error messages when converting the book, try the following step (make sure you're on the latest version of Calibre): Step 1. Open Calibre, go to Preferences -> Interface -> Toolbars and Menus. Select 'The main toolbar' Step 2. From 'Available Actions' find 'From KFX' option and move it with an arrow to 'Current Actions'. Apply changes. You should see 'From KFX' button in the Calibre menu. Step 3. Restart Calibre. Step 4. Within Calibre middle column of listed books, select the problematic books one at a time. Click the "From KFX" button, and select what format you want to convert them to and it should work.
@@JeanRodo is your tool bar collapsed? and you do not have to do it for when a device is connected. If it's on the main toolbar it will show up whether a device is connected or not.
This method still works , with an older version of the kindle application as shown in video , thanx for sharing 👌 but its pretty sad that we have to go through such hoops just to save the books we actually own .
Never imagined that would work. Now I'm really happy that I get to keep my favourite kindle books. Thank you so much for doing this video.😊😊 It's working great 👍🏻
Just wanted to add that this worked perfectly for me as of 10/7/2024 on Windows 10 PC. Thanks for making the info so clear and easy to follow, had no issues making it all work first try.
this works i followed the instruction for pc and it works 22 of sept 2024 thanks a lot it downloaded most but one of my book refuse to download I am happy with this
Worked perfectly on windows 11 -> Thank you buddy. Sub One thing to add -> if you restart kindle, It will update the version on windows. SO keep the original .exe file and remove update (add / remove programs) and re-install the right version given in the link above.
Worked, thank you!!! I get why they put these protections on, but it's still inconvenient to purchase books and not access them the way we need to be able to access them.
Thank you for this. Works on some, but not others. Received the following on several attempts... “Cannot convert [NAME OF BOOK] Exception(“This book has a layout that is incompatible with calibre conversion. For best results use either the From KFX user interface plugin or the KFX Input plugin CLI for conversion. See the KFX Input plugin documentation for more information. calibre, version 7.20.0”
Hi there, please see my pinned comment with specific steps to resolve this error message. As you mentioned, unfortunately the steps won't work on all books. Hope this helps!
Thank you so much!!! Before I stumbled upon your video I couldn't make it working and spent hours on trying to find a solution, it drove me insane! I'm so relieved and thankful I finally got it to work! Thank you lots :)
Now I wanted to convert some other kindle books I just bought because it has worked so well. But now I can’t get the download working in the kindle application. I now spent hours trying to block the update or something but it didn’t work (I am a Mac user). Unfortunately I don’t know much about these things and couldn’t understand what version was necessary, what and where to install or delete something… :/ I’m soo frustrated, agh
Thank you. I ordered your channel because you promised to show how to do this, and you delivered it. Unfortunately now I don't need your channel anymore because I succeeded, and I bet you don't have a donation button. But nevertheless, I'm very grateful and hope everything good for your channel.
I've followed all of your instructions, but I still can't remove DRM protection. I installed both plugins, but when I load the book onto calibre, it loads as a KFX-ZIP file, not KFX. What can I do to remove that?
The DeDRM won't install for me. It says it does not contain a top-level __init__.py file.. Edit: I've successfully installed the plug-ins. But it still does not work to remove the DRM
I downloaded the latest version of calibre version 7.21, installed the plugins DeDrm (10.0.9), KFX input (2.17.0), Obok DeDRM (10.0.9) I received an message in a pop up window that 'this book is locked by DRM. . . ". I removed the calibre 7.21 and installed calibre version 7.12 and I still received a the same pop up window message. I have been working on this all day. I also have a fire 7th generation model where I was able to successful download my kindle ebooks and put them in the calibre. I haven't had the success you had. Could you please tell me what I need to do to correct it.
thanks a lot for this dokumentary. I asume, if i downloaded with a wrong (newer) kindle version, there is no way to convert to pdf. ? i have now a bunch of azw but all dont work.
Did not work for me. I've been using Calibre for years, but my book imports as a KFX-ZIP and wont drop the DRM. Even using the older version of Kindle for PC
Does not work anymore. There is no file on my Mac, I could convert. There is no Kindle Folder on my Mac where the Downloads are saved. Maybe there is but I can't see it.
I wish you could see exactly the links you clicked. There is no need to apply effects in this kind of video. As a tutorial I value more the clarity in the things that you need to take action rather than transitions and text effects
Unfortunately, the version 'Kindle for Mac ver. 1.40.1 (65626)' does not allow the download of books as an alert informs that it is an unsupported app... Is this an issue only I am experiencing?
I can confirm that indeed the Mac version no longer works and shows the error. I've updated description and added it to the pinned comment. Thanks for checking this.
hello bro. well done work. thanks for your videos. can we download sample books in calibre to full books ??? or find a way to download sample boos to full book in calibre.
I've tried absolutely everything, followed the steps exactly, the DeDRM plugin just will not work for me :(. I've got the newest version (v10) I could find. Please, do you have any troubleshooting advice at all, I'm getting desperate at this point.
Hi, I might be having the same problem. I am trying to load the unzipped DeDRM plugin into Calibre and when I do, nothing happens. Calibre doesn't respond with anything and the plugin hasn't loaded. Any ideas? Thanks for help!
my issue is when I download books in Kindle for Mac, they don't show up in My Kindle Content, even though that is the folder they're set to go to, so I can't drop and drag into Calibre
Ive got 3000 kindle books lol That’d take forever to download individually into Kindle for PC 😮 Now we need a way to bulk download our Kindle books. I have several Kindles with all the books downloaded onto it. Do you suppose I could copy the entire Kindle documents folder to my PC and then drag all the azw files into Calibre?
Thank you very much for the video. I have followed all the steps and checked that everything is correct. However, when I try to convert all the books, I get the same error message every time: ERROR: KFX conversion failed: Cannot convert. Exception('This book has a layout that is incompatible with calibre conversion. For best results use either the From KFX user interface plugin or the KFX Input plugin CLI for conversion. See the KFX Input plugin documentation for more information.') How can I solve it? Thanks
Hi Toni, Thanks for advising on this error. Can you test the following process for me, make sure you have the latest Calibre installed. Steps below: Step 1. Open Calibre, go to Preferences -> Interface -> Toolbars and Menus. Select 'The main toolbar' Step 2. From 'Available Actions' find 'From KFX' option and move it with an arrow to 'Current Actions'. Apply changes. You should see 'From KFX' button in the Calibre menu. Step 3. Restart Calibre. Step 4. Within Calibre middle column of listed books, select the problematic books one at a time. Click the "From KFX" button, and select what format you want to convert them to and it should work.
Cannot convert, this book is locked by DRM. Also the link is not pointing to version 2.4.70904 Edit: Finally managed to do it by installing the beta version of the DeDRM. (Version 10.0.9)
Hello, is it legal to safe a book i bought as .pdf? There are 2 questions about your step buy step tutorial. 1)One has to download Kindle for PC ver. 2.4.0 from "Uptodown" filehoster ....and then to buy a book i have to login with my data. But if this KindleForPC Version is manipulated , the heve my login for amazon!???? .....and 2)Also if i use the .bat file , to prevent kindle Updates, i also cant know what this does to my pc. ................PLEASE CAN YOU EXPLAIN how we can be shure?
Yeah i seem to be having the same problem here. When I click on the book/md file in calibre it comes up with "ERROR: no associated program. Windows will try to open XXX-unknown.md with calibre itself resulting in a duplicate in your calibre library. You should install some program capable of viewing this file format and tell Windows to use that program to open files of this type"
Unfortunately, none of this is working for the current mac kindle app. Appreciate you trying but ive spent an entire day trying and this is no longer possible at least for people who dont have a kindle reader. I believe the new format may be azw8. Anyway looking forward to a workaround if you ever find one. Maybe getting a physical kindle device is the only way now.
Hey Jason, I pinned the comment advising that indeed the steps no longer work for Mac. The process still works for Windows tho. Will share a new video if I ever come across a solution for Mac. All the best!
it doesnt work for me, the plugins arent installing, after extracting the file im̀ down to something called standalone, there is no option to install anything... I also tried the thing kfx and it isn't working either. Maybe itś because I have linux? could that be an issue?
Hello. I tried this and when I tried to download my librarty using Kindle 1.4 and they wouldn't download. Message popped up saying 'This app is no longer supported" and that I need to install the newer version. Is there a work around for this?
Hello sir, I have a problem. When I try to convert individually the book, the text box: This book has DRM with the message: This book is locked by DRM. To learn more about DRM and why you can not read or convert this book in calibre, click here (with the link to the calibre website explaining why they are not supporting). So, any way to overcome this issue? Love your content very much!!
well November 3rd 2024 and the mac version of calibre 7.20.0 does not work. tried the download several times, different browsers & the alternate location one and all say the dmg can't be opened because of damaged image so can't even install it I'll have to wait and see if I can borrow a mates windows machine and try that (running windows on my mac slows it down to a crawl)
well this is not going to be fun. borrowed mates windows10 laptop (as a mac user I hate windows but...). calibre installed as did kindle from your links. downloaded the books and got the azw files. imported / converted them to kfx but seems converting them to pdf will take over 1 hour 15 minutes and counting to do just two. I have 62 books to convert.
hey thanks for this tutorial. I am able to convert most of my kindle books but some of them are stopping converting after 70%. when i look at job details it stops on this line "Path override failed for key base::DIR_APP_DICTIONARIES and path..." not sure what that means and cant seem to find a fix. have you seen this or have any ideas? thanks again for all the helpful content you make!
Hi, I've never had this error so can't really help. That being said, can you try the following step and let me know if the behavior is any different (make sure you're on the latest version of Calibre): Step 1. Open Calibre, go to Preferences -> Interface -> Toolbars and Menus. Select 'The main toolbar' Step 2. From 'Available Actions' find 'From KFX' option and move it with an arrow to 'Current Actions'. Apply changes. You should see 'From KFX' button in the Calibre menu. Step 3. Restart Calibre. Step 4. Within Calibre middle column of listed books, select the problematic books one at a time.

Hi there! Thank you for the helpful video on removing DRM from various eBook formats. I have a specific issue that I'm hoping you could assist with. I have a book in the .drmz format that is password-protected, and I can open it using the Javelin3 software with the password I have. However, I’m having trouble converting this file to PDF or another format that I can use more flexibly. I tried following the steps in your video, but it didn’t work for my .drmz file. Do you have any advice or tools that could help me convert this .drmz file to a PDF? I appreciate any guidance you can offer!
Hi there, I'm really sorry but I never worked with .drmz format and password protected files. There's a Mobile Read forum that I would suggest you review for this type of question.
Highly technical post. By your existing speed: some day a post is expected " how you can trace the 🪔 lamp of Allah Din" from your kindle But please remember that lamp was taken a magetion from the mother of Allah Din !
Hello, I don't seem to be able to instal the KFX plugin. When I download it from the website you recommended, it downloads it unzipped and Calibre doesn't let me install the unzipped folder. I've tried to zip it myself and Calibre was then able to read it but the installation failed. Could you please help?
Hi there, the KFX plugin from the link I provided is a zipped file, which you should upload to Calibre. Just to confirm, when you click on the link and arrive at MobileRead forum page, scroll down to the bottom of the first post. You will see 'Attached Files' with ' KFX Input.zip (2.30 MB, 3130 views) ' .
I followed your previous video untill the end, but I had no serial number, so now I followed this one. I had to uninstall Kindle to get the right version. I have done that, but I get the response that my Kindle book is KFX. Is there another step I have to take in this particular situation?
If you have the right version of Kindle for PC app (double check please to make sure it didn't upgrade) and the downloaded file is KFX rather than AZW/AZW3, then it would not be possible to convert this book using the method from this video.
This method has worked for years. Sadly, I now get the "This app is no longer supported" message and a prompt to upgrade my PC Kindle app. I have an old Fire Table, and that serial number does not work with the other method so that's the end of that work around.
it still show me error message when I try to download my book This app is no longer supported. To view this content, a new and improved Kindle for Mac is now available to download from the Mac App Store.

please help! I import the book but it doesn't automatically coverts it to KFX. So it's still shows the format as AZW.. What do I do wrong?
well November 3rd 2024 and the mac version of calibre 7.20.0 does not work. tried the download several times, different browsers & the alternate location one and all say the dmg can't be opened because of damaged image so can't even install it
I'll have to wait and see if I can borrow a mates windows machine and try that (running windows on my mac slows it down to a crawl)
well this is not going to be fun. borrowed mates windows10 laptop (as a mac user I hate windows but...). calibre installed as did kindle from your links. downloaded the books and got the azw files. imported / converted them to kfx but seems converting them to pdf will take over 1 hour 15 minutes and counting to do just two. I have 62 books to convert.
I’m having trouble downloading the older version of Kindle, any advice?
The plugin KFX doesn't work anymore?
hey thanks for this tutorial. I am able to convert most of my kindle books but some of them are stopping converting after 70%. when i look at job details it stops on this line "Path override failed for key base::DIR_APP_DICTIONARIES and path..." not sure what that means and cant seem to find a fix. have you seen this or have any ideas? thanks again for all the helpful content you make!
Hi, I've never had this error so can't really help. That being said, can you try the following step and let me know if the behavior is any different (make sure you're on the latest version of Calibre):
Step 1. Open Calibre, go to Preferences -> Interface -> Toolbars and Menus. Select 'The main toolbar'
Step 2. From 'Available Actions' find 'From KFX' option and move it with an arrow to 'Current Actions'. Apply changes. You should see 'From KFX' button in the Calibre menu.
Step 3. Restart Calibre.
Step 4. Within Calibre middle column of listed books, select the problematic books one at a time. Click the "From KFX" button, and select what format you want to convert them to and it should work.
doesn't work on macos.

Hi there! Thank you for the helpful video on removing DRM from various eBook formats. I have a specific issue that I'm hoping you could assist with.
I have a book in the .drmz format that is password-protected, and I can open it using the Javelin3 software with the password I have. However, I’m having trouble converting this file to PDF or another format that I can use more flexibly. I tried following the steps in your video, but it didn’t work for my .drmz file.
Do you have any advice or tools that could help me convert this .drmz file to a PDF? I appreciate any guidance you can offer!
Hi there, I'm really sorry but I never worked with .drmz format and password protected files. There's a Mobile Read forum that I would suggest you review for this type of question.
@@howtotechstuff I understand, could you please guide me to the forum? Thanks a lot!
The website is www.mobileread.com/forums/ . There's a category called ' E-book formats ' and then ' Other formats '. I would start there.
@@howtotechstuff thank you, will try!
Highly technical post.
By your existing speed: some day a post is expected " how you can trace the 🪔 lamp of Allah Din" from your kindle
But please remember that lamp was taken a magetion from the mother of Allah Din !
Noooo, now it is impossible to download books from this version of Kindle for Mac
This does not work for me. I get the error "This book is locked by DRM". Any solutions? The EPUB file I have is not from Kindle.
this happens the same :(
I tried to install the v10.0.9 plugin and it seems not to work
Hello, I don't seem to be able to instal the KFX plugin. When I download it from the website you recommended, it downloads it unzipped and Calibre doesn't let me install the unzipped folder. I've tried to zip it myself and Calibre was then able to read it but the installation failed. Could you please help?
Hi there, the KFX plugin from the link I provided is a zipped file, which you should upload to Calibre. Just to confirm, when you click on the link and arrive at MobileRead forum page, scroll down to the bottom of the first post. You will see 'Attached Files' with ' KFX Input.zip (2.30 MB, 3130 views) ' .
This was my same problem. It does not download zipped and therefore Calibre cannot use it.
My Mac gave me an error that this version of Kindle for Mac is no longer compatible. Will this process work if the Kindle app is updated?
need this for a nolan and hoover book 3rd edition. what do i do for Mac?
Thanks!
Hey Zach, appreciate your support and glad to hear the video worked for you! Thanks!
THANK YOU
thank you
I followed your previous video untill the end, but I had no serial number, so now I followed this one. I had to uninstall Kindle to get the right version. I have done that, but I get the response that my Kindle book is KFX. Is there another step I have to take in this particular situation?
If you have the right version of Kindle for PC app (double check please to make sure it didn't upgrade) and the downloaded file is KFX rather than AZW/AZW3, then it would not be possible to convert this book using the method from this video.
This method has worked for years. Sadly, I now get the "This app is no longer supported" message and a prompt to upgrade my PC Kindle app. I have an old Fire Table, and that serial number does not work with the other method so that's the end of that work around.
it still show me error message when I try to download my book

Is there a way that I can download the Kindle app without downloading your browser?
