If you can't read it in the K4PC app, that means the buyer must purchase a Kindle. Or maybe Big River would just say to use their "cloud" reader. I'd ask for my money back if it was a purchased book.

I got it into Calibre via the K4PC app, so there was no need to return it. Presumably Download & Transfer would have worked too (I have a couple of older Kindles still registered to my account), but I wanted to know if the Kindle for PC method worked with this book. Fortunately it did.

I ran into that issue too. Thankfully someone told me to install Kindle4PC and use epubor, and that has worked beautifully today for the books I bought. *grumble* I HATE that Amazon can basically hold books I PURCHASE hostage, simply because I don't WANT to use THEIR proprietary software to read them.

Ah, but you aren't purchasing the books. You're purchasing a license to read them on your Kindle if and where and when Amazon pleases.

Seconding the fact that there's no need for epubor. There's nothing it can do that DeDRM etc can't do.

It appears that the Kindle for Android route is becoming problematic. I have been using it without problems for a year now; but I have purchased three books that were released in the May and June time frame and the Kindle app refuses to download the books with a message telling me to install the latest Kindle app.
Downloading books released before May works without problems. |

Maybe I was lucky with the particular books I tried, but I was able to download a couple of June releases with old Kindle for Android. Mind sharing at least one of the ASINs of the books you had issues with?

There could be other factors in play besides the specific book. The exact version of Kindle for Android and possibly even the Amazon region could influence the ability to download.

For the record: I am using Kindle for Android 4.15.0.48 on Android 9.0-rc2
Is there a better combination? |

I tried the first one on your list and it downloaded and imported happily. Kindle 4 Android 8.51.1.0 on Bluestacks 5.11.1.1004, Android 9 SDK 28. Calibre 7.12, DeDRM alpha release.

Alternatively, get latest beta nodrm, calibre kfxinput plugin, K4PC. A lot more convenient, too. |
