Title

<I am trying to DeDRM a kindle/amazon azw3 download. I downloaded the DeDRM 10.0.3 on top of an older 6 version. Not sure if that does anything but current plugin says v10. I also added my kindle's serial number so am very unsure. Thanks!>

My Environment

Calibre: 6.2.1

Kindle: Kindle Fire

You need to choose an E-ink Kindle (not a Fire) for books that are from "download & transfer via usb". If you don't have an E-ink Kindle, then download with Kindle for PC. For that you'll probably need DeDRM 10.0.9 and the KFX Input plugin.

Thank you! I got the KFX. and DeDREM v10.0.9. What do you mean by DL Kindle for PC?

I see you have Kindle for PC installed. Import a copy of the book downloaded in the app.
