That method only works for E-ink Kindles, not Fires. If you don't have an E-ink Kindle, then download it with Kindle for PC 2.4.0 (70904) aka 2.4.70904. You will also need the KFX Input plugin. |
Hi, thanks for the reply.
I don't think my fire is involved downloading from amazon.com digital content;
I have many kindle devices.
With my kindle for pc ver 2.4.1 (70946) aka 2.4.1.70946
I have a folder named My Kindle Content.
How do I identify a book there?
How do I download from amazon.com digital content?
What configuration do I use for the deDRM plugin
Please let me know.

Since you listed a Fire as your Kindle version, I assumed that was the device choosen when downloading from the website. If you have an E-ink Kindle, then make sure to choose that when downloading from the website and have its serial number entered correctly into DeDRM's customization. For books from Kindle for PC, no configuration of DeDRM is needed. Kindle for PC used to download the book just needs to be installed on the same computer and user as calibre/DeDRM. You cannot get books for Kindle for PC from the website, only via the app itself. |
Dear LKM,
It worked.
There are a few issues
0. I didn;t realize there were specific formats for different reading devices.
I thought the differences were only the physical locations.
Now it appears a content downloaded to a computer
for a particular reading device has a special
target format.
1. In the KFPC folder there are two files recognized by calibre
the .azw (content) and the .azw.md (MD Doc; what's this one)
2. The kfx file is twice the size of the azw3 file saved to usb
3. How do suggest I get the overview of Amazon's ebook formats and management?
4. This comment of yours:
"You cannot get books for Kindle for PC from the
website, only via the app itself."
seems to be at odds with function on the amazon
website next to each digital content item
Deliver of Remove from Device; this laoows
delivery of a book to kindle for PC.
Do you agree?
Thanks again,
…-ron leder

You'll also need the KFX Input plugin for those
books. Books in the My Kindle Content folder are
named with their ASIN (found under Product
Details and in the url for the book's page.)

Download and transfer delivers azw3 for most books. If you choose an E-ink Kindle, they can be decrypted by entering that Kindle's serial number into DeDRM. This doesn't work if you choose a Fire. For most books Kindle for PC 2.4.0 delivers kfx format which can be decrypted. Kindle for PC 2.4.1 delivers kfx format with DRM which currently cannot be removed. Kindle for PC always uses a generic azw extension for the main book file regardless of the actual format. Once the DRM is removed you will see a format specific extension in calibre. If the DRM isn't successfully removed from kfx format, you're left with kfx-zip from the KFX Input plugin gathering up the related files. When choosing a device for download & transfer from the website, Kindle for PC is greyed out (not available). The option to deliver to Kindle for PC merely queues the book up so that the next time Kindle for PC is opened the book is downloaded via the app. I was clarifying that you couldn't download a book directly from the website for Kindle for PC. |

Using instructions from techradar I downloaded a paid kindle ebook from my amazon library of digital content on amazon,com using chrome and "download & transfer via usb" to my local hard disk.
