2 The Kindle books are not purchased via your own Kindle account.

The eBooks you want to remove the DRM should be purchased via your own Amazon account. In other words, you should be the owner of this book.

Sample books These books entitled like XXXEBSP.KFX or XXXEBSP.AZW are sample books which are not supported. Epubor Ultimate are not promise to support sample books, but can handle some of them.

Rented books If you rent this book, you may fail to remove the DRM from this book.

Kindle Unlimited Subscription Books Many users have purchased the Kindle unlimited subscription service. Of course you can download many book freely, but do not try to use Epubor Ultimate to remove DRM from this kind of ebooks. You are not the owner of these books, but just can read them in the subscription time. It is another kind of rented books.

Kindle eTextBook Kindle eTextbooks are with different kindle drm which are much tougher so there is no way to remove DRM from this kindle of kindle books.

Books not from your own account Every now and then, you may receive some books from others. When you try to decrypt this kind of Kindle eBooks, you will face "Kindle DRM Remove failed" issue. That's because you cannot generate the Epubor key file to decrypt these books without your friend account information.

3 You may not register your Kindle for PC/MAC at your computer.

Solution: Please ensure your Kindle for PC/MAC are registered even if you have finished the downloading. If you really want to de-register your Kindle for PC/MAC on your computer, you can do it after the DRM has been removed from your Kindle books.

4 You move your Kindle eBooks to other folder without the full content.

Some people move their books to the desktop for removing DRM. This is really unnecessary as Epubor Ultimate can dectect your default "My Kindle Content" folder and display the books in the left column. The big difference between Kindle old format and the Kindle KFX format is the Kindle KFX ebook is consisted of a series of files and stored in one folder. So if you want to remove DRM from Kindle KFX ebooks on your desktop or other folders, please ensure you have the whole Kindle KFX eBook folder, not only a file with the extension of azw or kfx.

Never going to happen! I will never follow such a ridiculously inconvenient procedure simply to make your program function.  A MUCH better solution is for Epubor to FIX YOUR SOFTWARE so that it works without my having to downgrade my Kindle app, erase 600+ books, reinstall Kindle software, load each of those 600+ books again, then run your program.  If you think that's going to happen you're smoking some really funny mushrooms!

As of today (December 26, 2018) the Epubor will not unlock KFX files with the newest Epubor version, and also Kindle for PC v.1.24

Even with these versions, Epubor no longer unlocks Kindle KFX files. We've tried many times.

Now what...?

reply
12/29/2018 09:33:09

FYI, I was a customer that submitted an early report that my automatic upgrade resulted in decryption failures. The Epubor team investigated and replied that it was likely the upgrade. I located an install file for Kindle for PC 1.24 and installed that, deselecting the auto-upgrade option. I'm happy to report that I am able to decrypt the files again, even the ones that I originally purchased after Amazon made the update. So the changes they made clearly are in the software and are not embedded in the EPUB files themselves.
reply
01/16/2019 10:09:56
We sincerely appreciate your report. It is really important for us to figure out the issues and find a solution. We also think they make the changes in the software and will figure out the solution ASAP.

01/16/2019 01:04:51
I started having problems removing DRM from Kindle books toward the end of last year. I don't know which Kindle version I was using before the final upgrade. So I went online to seek a solution and found similar instructions on how to resolve the issue. In my case, I found a link to download Kindle for PC version 1.17.0 (this was the version that was recommended in the article I read), which I downloaded and installed.  I re-downloaded all my books (I don't own that many Kindle books so it was easy and fast for me) and haven't had a problem since. Do you think I should now update my Kindle  to version 1.24?
reply
01/16/2019 10:01:19
Thank you for asking. If you are using Kindle 1.17 well, there is no need to upgrade it to Kindle version 1.24.
reply
01/16/2019 02:54:07
Just so you know, I think Amazon is forcing the update. I have 4 laptops I use in different situations, and Kindle for PC is installed on all of them. One of those laptops was auto-upgraded before I saw this article. I just checked this machine, saw that it was version 1.24, unchecked the update option in Tools/Options.... then closed and reopened Kindle. It updated to 1.25 before opening, even though the auto-update option had been turned off.
reply
01/16/2019 10:14:16
Yes, the situation you mentioned maybe happen. There is no other solution, but uninstall and install the old version for once again and uncheck the automatically update option. Sorry for the inconvenience, but we will try to figure out a straightforward solution ASAP.
reply
01/16/2019 04:28:45
Thanks for the notice about Kindle's update. I will wait to download any new books for now. Luckily, once I have decrypted my purchased books I keep each of them in .mobi format in my Calibre library. That is also the version I add to my e-reader.  I never have to worry about older books I own needing to be re-downloaded. I have used Epubor Ultimate for many years and they always find a solution to Kindle's latest encryptions.
reply
01/16/2019 10:16:56
Thank you for your trust to Epubor. Decrypting the kindle books and converting it to mobi to make it safe on your computer is a smart step. We will keep working on the new DRM and find a solution ASAP. We do not want to let our customer down.

No, Epubor software doesn't support Kindle rented books (Kindle Unlimited, or Kindle lending library).
reply
01/21/2019 14:03:41
It most certainly does support Kindle Unlimited. I have been a member of KU for several months and have downloaded many books during that time. Each and every book has been reformatted from the Amazon formats (mobi/azw) to epub w/o any problems. And it should work w/ rented books as well. All you need to do is find the books on your computer and reformat them.

Hello, Friends at Epubor. I have always liked and respected your software. It is the only way I can easily move my book easily between my several devices, whenever needed.
I hope your team keeps working and finds a solution we can all use against Amazon's over-dominant control. I don't know if it's possible to clean our files of unwanted DRM. But I hope you continue to try, and succeed.
Thank you!!

I have only gotten this to work a couple of times in the last year, and it is a PITA to do all the steps they want you to do just to make it work 1 time. FIX YOUR SOFTWARE and give us an easy solution to convery KFX files

Sign in fails on 1.17 Kindle Windows app fails.

Therefore one cannot sync - download the ebooks from amazon in the first place to be able to convert them.

Sign in fails because even with valid username and password, v1.17 says invalid username or phone number.

The encryption has gotten stronger. Some books decrypt, others don't. At this point, I think it's regular purchases that decrypt, but titles from Kindle Unlimited and free access aren't decrypting.

This worked and was explained perfectly.  I get why all they gyrations.  I tried for four hours to find a way to print a kindle ebook that I paid .99 for because it's a workbook.  

I want an author to get their $$.  After I have bought the book, it's mine.

Amazon now forces you to download the latest version of Kindle for PC to download some titles (at least they do for more recent editions of textbooks I've tried downloading), rendering this software useless.

Just for the record in the last week Amazon has apparently reformatted ALL the Ebooks to the new versions which can not be used in the older Kindle apps. That said there also is no longer an option to download and transfer with the kindle books anymore to sideload so it can't be done that way either. (I.E. using the ink method)

Thank you so much for this.  I'm so upset with Amazon for now dismissing the older kindles.  I have a first Gen and it is in perfect condition and works great but Amazon will no longer recognize it and I can no longer download the books to it.
I did what you said about getting the older Kindle for PC and downloaded my book. Got the error from your Epubor but then it occurred to me that maybe I just needed to download the updates for it and sure enough, that fixed the error and I got to convert it to PDF.  Didn't even have to use Calibre and that was great.
So I thank you from the bottom of my heart for letting me take possession of the book I purchased rather than have it on loan from Amazon.

   I buy Kindle books from Amazon with my PC.  I convert them with your Epubor software to PDF, then sidload it to my Samsung Galaxu S2 tablet, where I read it with Moon Reader.  I buy a LOT of books, although I haven't bought any since the new year, because of an expensive car repair.  I just bought several ebooks from Amazon tonight, and was going to buy quite a number more in the next month...  I've been doing this for several years.
   (I belong to FOUR book groups.  I promote your software at each of them all of the time!)
   Tonight, after I bought these books, and had got themdownloaded to my PC,I found I couldn't convert them, as I usually do.  Your software had told me that it needed and update from you, so I had downloaded it.  When it still couldn't convert, even when I did the "earlier version" thing, I went to your website, wondering if there were special instuctions with your software update.  To my horror and disgust, I found that it looks like Amazon has come up with a way to keep your software from being useful unless I have a Kindle myself.  Well, I don't; the whole point of buying your software (AND RECOMMENDING IT TO EVERYONE I KNOW) was to keep some distance from Amazon, which is already making things/books obsolete.
     The question I have for you now is: do you anticipate being able to come up with an updated version of your software sometime in the next year that will crack the new DRM version without needing a kindle intermediary?

I have nearly 1400 books in my Calibre library. It's the most versatile library, as it can handle many various formats (I use EPUB and MOBI mostly)  I always have to de-DRM Amazon books, but I'll simply refrain from buying their books, as I did several years ago before Epubor's more recent solutions.  It's surprising how many vendors there are for e-books.  I have NEVER resold an ebook and my wife and I are the only users, each with a KOBO device which seems to be able to handle ANY format except Amazon's. They apparently to believe their customers are for the most part, hackers and/or black-marketeers in e-books (not everyone, just you and I).  I'll wait for Epubor to come up with their usual 'magic' before I shop Amazon's e-books.  Good luck and thanks for the best de-DRM software to date.

Hello, thanks for your message.
If you don't have a Kindle device, you need to install the Kindle app for desktop on your Windows or Mac computer. And download the Kindle books through the app to your computer. Then you can install and run our software Epubor Ultimate on your computer, and next drag and drop the downloaded books to the software to decrypt and convert the books to another format you need.

If you only have installed the Kindle app on an Android phone, it's impossible to download the Kindle books and transfer them to your computer. So you can not decrypt and convert the books via our software.

Hello there,

As Faspao stated, I on the day purchased a lifetime Epubor Ultimate license to remove DRM, as I am not a Kindle user. I don't see the point of buying additional software that is not a lifetime license for a service I should have if Epubor Ultimate is updated with a version that allows converting Kindle books to Epub, as that is why I paid for the program a lifetime purchase back on the day.

I understand that updates are costly as it requires to workaround new problems, but I just think this is not fair for the people who purchased an Epubor Ultimate lifetime, so I think it should be offered a great lifetime discount for the old users of Epubor Ultimate.

I think for users who bought the lifetime Ultimate product we should be given a free lifetime key for the Kindle converter which works for converting the kfx kindle books after Jan 2023. I think it's really cheeky to ask for people to pay for another piece of software when Ultimate doesn't work anymore and also your workaround with download via usb from kindle device is cumbersome and not what the Ultimate sw was supposed to work like

. Why are you still selling the Ultimate software when is blatantly not working after Jan 2023?

Ultimate 2023 will only convert to epub format even when you choose azw3 or mobi output.  I have done EVERYTHING that Epubor support has recommended including the correct version of Kindle for PC, latest version of Epubor Ultimate. Every time I contact support about this issue they repeat the same response.  I have tried installing Ultimate on two different computers with two different versions of Windows and still end up with the same result. I have contacted them so many times regarding this issue that I have decided to give up completely because they are absolutely no help at all. They imply that I don't understand how to use the software which is an insult. You don't have to be Einstein to understand how to use it.  I purchased a lifetime license, and they have no refund policy. So, buyer beware!

Hello, thanks for your comment

I'm really sorry that your problem is still not solved.

The new version of Epubor Ultimate will automatically decrypt your Kindle books as EPUB files. But if you want to convert them to Mobi or AZW3 format, you need to add the DRM-free epub book to Epubor Ultimate and select the output format, then click the button "Convert to XXX" to convert your books to AZW3 or Mobi. Please try again, thank you!

If you still have the same issue, could you please provide a screenshot to show your specific problem and contact us via support@epubor.com. We will help you solve your problem as soon as possible.

This actually worked!  Clearer instructions on how to use Ultimate would have been helpful. Thank you.

I used the test installation of Epubor Ultimate.
I tried to convert E-books from Kindle for PC and from the Kindle (11. Generation) E-book reader connected via USB.
The books are visible in the left window. All the older ones drag to the right window, but when I drag the most recently purchased one (25.Sept 2023) the progress message "The program is removing the D.R.M. encryption. Please wait for this to finish." stays for ever and the program is locked. Can only close with Task Manager.

Hello, thanks for your message

I suggest you use 2.0 Kindle for PC to download your books and remove DRM with Epubor Ultimate. If your Kindle firmware is higher than 5.10.2, our software does not support to drag and drop the books from the Kindle e-reader connected to your computer.

If there are any questions or concerns, please feel free to contact us via support@epubor.com.

In the new version, there is an error in the resolution of the image inside the book, the old version outputs the dimensions of the image inside the book as 1080*1920, but the new version one is 1081*1920.

Hello, thanks for your comment

Please Note: The free trial version of Epubor Ultimate only helps you decrypt and convert 20% of the books in TXT format (images not included). Once you purchase the software and register it with your license, you will get the complete book converted with all the images and in the proper format you want like PDF/Epub/Mobi/AZW3/TXT.

If you're interested in Epubor Ultimate, please feel free to contact us via support@epubor.com, and we can offer you an exclusive discount.

hello,
I tried using a new version Epubor Ultimate (3.0.16.105) + Kindle For PC 2.0 to remove DRM, but after removing DRM, the PDF e-book lost its table of contents. Everything is OK when using old Epubor Ultimate.

Thank you for using our software and sincerely sorry for this issue. Please send us the decrypted books to us via support@epubor.com so that we can check it at our side.
What's the old version of Epubor Ultimate you are using?
reply

old version:Epubor 3.0.15.425 + Kindle for PC v1.34. Everything is OK.
The e-books decrypted by Epubor are directly in PDF format without conversion, so it is speculated that the original format of these books is PDF. for example:
Amazon UK ISBN: 978-1782949169
But the PDF e-book lost its table of contents If using the new version of Epubor.

Thank you for reaching us. Yes, if the decrypted books are in pdf conversion, the original ebook should be in pdf format. Can you please send us the decrypted books (with/without table of content) so that we can check this issue further? Please send them to us via support@epubor.com.

Has something changed with Kindle DRM in the last couple of weeks? I was de-DRMing fine with the latest Kindle version and epubor version, and now nothing is converting. I tried downgrading the Kindle to 2.0 (link on your website), removing downloads etc as instructed but to no avail. Also is the Kindle unlimited DRM different from regular one? I did have success with one Kindle Unlimited about 2 weeks ago, but now nothing will convert.

Thank you for asking. We are sincerely sorry to inform you that Epubor Ultimate doesn't support the kindle unlimited books.

Well, I was able to de-drm a different book with downloaded from Kindle Unlimited over a week ago, so I am confused. I removed all of the Kindle downloads from the app and then loaded an older book I drm stripped before, and I am getting failure with the same error messages. Doesn't look like any Kindle books are successfully being drm stripped, even going through all of the suggested fixes. Is no-one else having this issue?

As of today, 6 August 2024, whatever new DRM Amazon has implemented is not crackable by Epubor. Everything was working fine as late as maybe a week or ten days ago. Current versions of both.

I believe Amazon has implemented another update because no book can be converted anymore...
