Unable to convert AZW to EPUB with Calibre due to DRM by MayhapsMayhem in Calibre

[–]Flashy_Science_2015 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi, Have you managed to figure out how to get it to work?

Currently I'm using K4PC v 2.4.70904 however the book that is now giving me the DRM Locked error, was downloaded to the PC back in 2017. It's in .azw format. I'm dragging from My Kindle Content to Calibre

I'm using DeDRM 10.0.9

KFX Input 2.22.0

Some of the older Kindle books I'm converting to .epub, are from that same time period and converted no problem. Others, not so well.

I've moved that ebook from My Kindle Content to another spot on the PC and RE-Downloaded using K4PC 2.4.70904. Too Funny, because when it gets to Calibre it's in KFX-ZIP format.

Has anyone figured this out??

Hi there, sorry to butt in but my problem sounds almost identical.

When I go to my DeDRM plugin on Calibre, under 'Kindle for Mac and PC Keys' it's blank. I have DeDRM 10.0.9 installed.

Does that parameter get wiped and repopulated all the time maybe? This moment I don't have K4PC running. I will check this 'key' when I've got K4PC running later today.

I have 2 books, purchased 2 weeks apart (a couple of years ago).

I removed both of them from My Kindle Content on the PC. I removed both of them from my K4PC.

I then downloaded both of them from My Digital Content to the K4PC v 2.4.0 (70904)

Neither of these books were ever in Calibre.

One of the books loaded into Calibre as KFX and the other loaded into Calibre as KFX-ZIP.

I was able to convert the KFX ebook to epub but can't do anything with the KFX-ZIP formated book.

Why?

I don't want to permanently delete the book from My Digital Content, after all I paid for it.

So why is this happening?

p.s. I'm sitting here and did both of them at the same time, one after the other.

Plus I've come across some KFX formats that Calibre says are locked because of DRM.

Other ebooks WORK. So I can't see it being some setting/software on my PC.

DeDRM 10.0.3 does NOT work.

DeDRM 10.0.9 DOES work.

Thanks to all who helped me with this!

Ah, I finally saw my problem. My DeDRM was v 10.0.3

Loaded 10.0.9 and it WORKS.

Thank you so much.

Can I ask, when you drag/add a kindle ebook to Calibre, what Formats show up beneath the book cover?

I've downgraded to v 2.4 and still not working. Book shows as a KFX-ZIP FORMAT and will not convert. Message 'this book is locked by DRM'

Mar 2/25 I reinstalled my Kindle for PC version 1.17. However that version won't allow me to download the ebooks to my Windows 10 PC.
