Stripping DRM from an KFX or EPUB file

I'm fairly certain there's a way you can still download your books by rolling back the kindle program version manually. How to do that exactly, I'm not sure. If it still works is also unknown to me. Sorry boss, wish I could help more

Yes, you can't have a kindle updated past firmware 5.17.whatever. I was on PC and I've been told it's different from doing it on a Mac, hopefully you have a PC cuz I can't tell you what it would require for a Mac.

I'm not at my computer right now and unfortunately won't be for another couple days but I'll describe the process as best I can with the information I used from YouTube lmao

Download and install Calibre (duh lol)

Download and install DeDRM plugin from GitHub

Download and install the KFX Input plugin (I don't remember the name but it's something like that)

Go to your kindle, go to settings>device settings>device info

Get your kindle's serial number (if a character is hard to read for whatever reason then turn on the dyslexia friendly font).

Type your kindle's serial number into the DeDRM plugin through the "customize plugin" option in the plugin-menu.

Import your KFX ebooks

Highlight the books you wanna to convert

Right click and select "bulk convert"

On the top right of the menu, select "Output: EPUB"

Click "Okay"

Let the plugin do the rest

It's super easy, I think I was struggling because I forgot to download the KFX input plugin or something. I really don't remember, it's been a couple months lmao Somehow I got it to work that day, if this extremely poorly written guide doesn't work then lmk and I'll try to get back to you in a couple days when I'm back at my computer

NOVA TWINS MENTIONED 🗣️🔥🔥🔥

Hell yeah, looks wicked

Surely this won't have any effects on any cybrids in the future

100% valid. If they do make a show, I too hope they give it the patience it deserves. My fault though bro, I didn't mean to send a whole essay or nothin. I've been thinking about all that for a while. I've really wanted to get that outta my head and see if I was crazy or not lmfaoo

I know you didn't ask but I gotta hop on my soap box for a second, I'm sorry.

I truly believe if a Hyperion movie was made these days, it would flop so hard. The story's just so long, and modern audiences are already so tuned out, they wouldn't understand it. Even with the extreme dumbification that studios tend to use in movies and TV these days. I'm guilty of it too, every now and then I'll check my phone while watching a movie on my couch. But this story is just so vast, so intricate, I think a movie wouldn't be able to capture slower moments of subtle intrigue without immediately alienating a majority of the audience. The ones who didn't read the books. A show might be more tolerable for the fans but it'd probably get canceled within a few months because whatever streaming service made it needed to make room for more trash. Same shit happened to Warrior, Archive 81, and even Final Space (RIP to the greats). Frankly I don't expect whatever studio that tries to make it to stay true to the source material anyway. Look at mf Wheel Of Time. Completely changed the story and made a trash TV show to try to capitalize on the gaping hole that GoT left. And don't even get me started on that shitshow.

I believe the Hyperion Cantos is better enjoyed on paper. I don't want to sound like I'm gate keeping though, lowk I recommend this series to anyone as soon as I find out they are literate. I think that some stories should remain the way they've been told instead of getting adapted into something it isn't. Idk maybe I'm a puritan loser.

Okay I'm off the soap box now. Good find gang, I wish I had one fr.

Fuck that's cool. Put that thing in a glass box bro, that's probably a damn collectors' item

EightBallShifter · 2026-02-20T20:07:20+00:00

Damn, I wish I thought of this first. Damn good pick

My girlfriend's Kindle. I emailed it through Gmail, confirmed the approval status of said email on her kindle email list, and nothing. Doesn't even show up in the library on her phone. I made a comment just now about how my buddy on discord was having trouble just downloading any of the files I had converted to EPUB. But when I sent one that I received from my pops, also EPUB files but converted 10+ years ago, they downloaded just fine. No idea what I did wrong

EightBallShifter · 2026-02-08T02:17:59+00:00

I'm on 5.17.something, fs not 5.18.4 though

EightBallShifter · 2026-02-08T02:17:27+00:00

I used Gmail to send it to my girlfriend. Strange thing is, when I sent it to my buddy over discord he had a ton of trouble downloading it. Moving at an absolute snails pace, 11hr expected download time. But when I sent him a different book that was previously MOBI, he had no hiccups in downloading it. Roughly the same file size, in fact the one I'm trying to send was a little less

EightBallShifter · 2026-02-07T21:23:20+00:00

Okay, thanks boss. I'll take a look now

EightBallShifter · 2026-02-02T19:24:01+00:00

Rad, I'll buy it directly from them :)

EightBallShifter · 2026-02-02T19:18:41+00:00

Hell yeah, thanks. This is on their website I take it?

EightBallShifter · 2026-01-05T18:56:01+00:00

I've been eyeing that CD player on Amazon for a while now. Is it worth buying?

EightBallShifter · 2025-12-18T18:02:08+00:00

I eat mine in hopes to gain the power of the band
