All this said: MobileRead Forums is your best friend. I’ve posted problems I was having, and someone always helped me find the answers. And on at least two occasions, when there was no solution for what I was trying to do, the creator of Calibre literally created one for me. I know he doesn’t like to get involved in the DRM removal aspects, but if you’re just interested in figuring out how to transfer without converting, I’m sure he’d know of a way. @Magic of the Mind: I was aware there were compatibility issues with the new Kindle for PC version, but wasn’t aware what they were. I’m currently using an older version, and it works fine with Calibre.
Absolutely not. Google Chrome is not just a browser. It is an invasive system modification that I would never permit to be installed on any of my Macs. Chrome is specifically designed to harvest your personal information and upload it to Google so that they can package it and sell it to others. Google also installs an automatic means of updating itself as a background task that occurs without informing you when that happenens.
Kindle 1.17 For Pc
I went on the Amazon site, and tried to download as USB for the Kindle to PC and It won’t let me, only offers my kindle (I have a Fire HDX) as an available “download for USB” device. I am able to ‘deliver’ it to either device, but ‘download to USB’ is only available for the Kindle. I can’t figure out how to add the book to Calibre so the DRM removal works? Is it just the Add Books or a different button or setting? I tried the “Control the adding of books” by checking everything and automatically converting to Epub. Adding the book after that continues to give me a ‘cannot convert the book, the book is locked by DRM” message.
• From the Amazon website access 'Account & Lists' -> 'Manage Your Content and Devices'. • Find a book you want to import into calibre and press the '.'

You do not need AV software - they interfere with the Mac design, and cause havoc, as you have seen with your Kindle app issue. Listen to John on this.

Anti Virus software on a Mac is like infecting it with little prying busybodies who know only enough to be dangerous. They go looking around for stuff they don't understand, then make a mess of everything else.
Kindle App is up to date. Kindle is first gen Paperwhite, Calibre is up to date. Smiles all around Don’t know if I really had a problem Don’t know if this helps anyone. As of Sept 9, 2017 transferring files from Amazon to Calibre still doesn’t work “out-of-the-box”. I’m running on a Mac with the latest Calibre (3.7) and Kindle app. I’m loathe to go to down versions of any software but thanks to the comments in this thread I have found a path that works. From the Amazon Manage Your Content and Devices page I did the Download & Transfer via USB option.
The UB Reader Pro app allowed me to create and organize my library with bookshelves, but when I bought a kindle or an audiobook, they didn’t fit in that library, so I had to create a text document, tabled, with every title organized into those paradigms. Until I found Calibre. Now, I just convert any kindle copies I buy into epub, bc I like having my library all in one place. I admit though, I’ll often leave the kindle copy on the kindle app, and read with it as well- it really is a nice app. But if I had to choose one, I’d pick the one where I could put all my ebooks.
My ebook and physical libraries are organized on an OCD like level; by genre, by region, then chronologically, and in the case of monarchies, by person and epoch (Most of my books are history related). The UB Reader Pro app allowed me to create and organize my library with bookshelves, but when I bought a kindle or an audiobook, they didn’t fit in that library, so I had to create a text document, tabled, with every title organized into those paradigms.

Then hover over the “Your Account” drop-down menu, select “Manage Your Content and Devices”, you can see all your Kindle content here. Just find the KFX books you have downloaded via Kindle device, then tap the button under “Actions”, click “Download & transfer via USB”. Then a window will pop up. Select the Kindle to which you want to transfer the book. Then click “Download” button to download the book to your computer. These downloaded files will be saved as AZW or AZW3 files. Step 2: Decrypt the AZW or AXW3 file with Calibre and the De-DRM plugin.
Most of eBook fans are holding negative views about the future of DRM removing, while some people think there definitely will be a way to crack the.kfx book in the future. However, you can also check that thread and also share your thoughts about this issue.
Checked other books by same author on my kindle via Calibre; 2 locked by DRM & wouldn’t open, third in KFX format & wouldnt open. File compressor for mac. Don’t know where these came from, but can only think they came direct to kindle from Amazon via wifi. Removed from Kindle & Calibre using Calibre, removed from Kindle Content. Downloaded again to Kindle Content, Added to Calibre via Add Books, & moved to Kindle.
I updated to the latest version of DeDrm for Mac but it didn’t help. I thought the issue might have to do with the fact that I was dealing with the new DRM protocol for Adobe Digital editions. But the plug-in forCalibre DOES work for the recent PDF files that my DeDRM for Mac is not accepting. Is there a way I could debug my DeDRM for Mac, and if not, why is the Calibre plug-in working for all the PDFs? Thanks, Brian.

Meanwhile, I suppose we can hope that Calibre adds the ability to read KFX files sometime soon. Update: In, Steve notes you can also download AZW files by going to your page, then clicking on the “” button next to the title you want and selecting “Download & transfer via USB.” Even if the Kindle device you choose is a newer model, it still sends you the.AZW file format. If you found this post worth reading and want to kick in a buck or two to the author,. I have just read your comment that ‘this was fixed in Octobr 2015’ and that therefore the comments in this article are likely to be fake news. They certainly are not! When I posted on April 10th 2017 I had just spent a morning trying calibre and the latest plug ins to read some of the books I had just purchased from Amazon.
It used to work, but when I got a new PC and transferred everything is when I started having the problems. I do not understand the above.
Now Amazon has already abandoned version 1.14. As the most recent old version, 1.17 can last more days. There is a hot on MobileRead forum about the new version of Kindle desktop reading app and the coming DRM removing jeopardy.
When I bought one I read it, but six months later, it didn’t work, I couldn’t read it again, a book I pay for. Even Google couldn’t read the book, in that way Google refund my money. Like all of us I prefer keep “my books” with me, without permission of anybody. Thank you, BUT since the old Kindle version is not on amazon anymore and although there is another painful way to work around that, I have decided not to waste more hours trying new ways and particularly if my book is not that big I decided to go the old fashion way of print screen and paste into a. Any software appropriate for printing. Amazon is wrong to deny anybody who has bought an ebook (especially if there is no paper copy) to print it an used as any other book Solution them is for amazon to keep blocking file change or electronic copy, but give buyers a print option from kindle app.
The use of eBook readers is something more and more common among readers. We'll see how after Christmas, eBooks are going to be everywhere, because they are getting cheaper. However, they are still abit expensive and a lot of users can't afford it. That's why we can use Amazon Kindle for PC, a program that let us read the eBooks we buy for the Amazon Kindle device even if we don't own it. The program synchronizes with your Amazon account and download those books you have already bought. Once the book is downloaded you can read it and use marks and notes as if you were using the real Amazon Kindle. Kindle for PC can be synchronized with your Amazon Kindle device too and share notes and marks, so you can read the book either on the PC and the portable device.

• Exit the Kindle program. • Open a command window (PC) or terminal window (Mac). • Cut and paste the appropriate command for your operating system to disable the renderer-test program. Code: chmod -x /Applications/Kindle.app/Contents/MacOS/renderer-testThis prevents the renderer-test program from executing, blocking the use of KFX. PC Note: The renderer-test program may be in a different location in some Kindle for PC installations. If the rename command fails look in other folders, such as C: Program Files Amazon Kindle.

@Peter DAPRIX: If you’re willing to side load, then you could try to download the slightly older version of Kindle for PC I mentioned in my other comment here. (Kindle for PC installer 1.17.44170). After it syncs, download each title from the Kindle for PC app. Once you do that, you can open calibre and add them to it- choose the version that shows as “kindle content” under the “type” column. They should show with “.azw” on the end of the title (which isn’t actually the title) in this version of Kindle for PC. Then side load, or use Calibre Companion to put them on your device.
Update: On 18th, October 2017. The software called makes it possible to remove DRM from KFX books. You can buy this software with 20% off here: • • The KFX books are initially going live on Kindle Paperwhite 2 and later generations. In old days, if a book is downloaded as.kfx format in our Kindle eReaders, we can download them to computer with Kindle for PC/Mac reading app as.azw format, then easily.
The enhanced typesettings engine improves the way Kindle books are formatted. • Improved the search functions. • Added text-to-speech functions, it only work on books which support TTS functions. Among all these important new features, the first one is the most important feature, and it’s also the worst new feature in my point of view. Let me explain why. The enhanced typesettings engine requires the books be downloaded as.kfx extension name. This format of Kindle book is impossible to convert or decrypt (remove DRM).
