Kindle app requires update to view content

Question

1/26/2023 5:14:25 AM
I borrowed 2 books and when I attempt to open them in the Kindle app for PC I get this message: Your kindle app requires an update to view this content. Click here to download and install the free update.
I borrowed other books and they open just fine and I can use Epubor Ultimate to convert them.
Has Amazon changed file types or what? Any ideas?
Thanks

It seems the amazon kindle has changed something in the new published kindle books. It requires the latest kindle app to download it.

Now we are working on this issue. Once there is a solution, we will let you know. The older kindle books still can be cracked with Epubor Software.

There is still another way to remove drm from this kind of kindle books if you have any kindle eink device registered with your amazon account. Please download the kindle books via "Download and transfer via usb" and then remove kindle drm with Epubor Ultimate.

Just curious as it has been over 2 months and Kindle for Mac won't let me download kindle books without updating Mac Kindle software to latest edition. That means Epubor is not working at all for the Mac version of Kindle. Just curious what the timeline is for update. Thx

Question:  I can download the book I ordered on my Android phone.  I can read it there but don't want to do that. Can I import it onto my Windows computer and decrypt it there?  I was unable to download it to my Windows computer because it is a fairly new book (The Wuhan Cover-Up).  I also cannot log into Amazon with my older version of Kindle because the captcha won't work.
