If you downloaded this book from the website, are you sure that you chose an E-ink Kindle and that you have the serial number for that Kindle entered correctly into DeDRM customization? You might also try shortening the file name. I'm not sure what the limit is, but I know I've seen people have trouble with long file names before.

[Fenway68]

yes, eink kindle and yes have the serial numbers in, i will try shortening the name and get back with you

[Fenway68]

shortening name did not work, unless i am doing it in the wrong place, i edited it in the downloaded file, but on import to Calibre it restored the full title of the book. Please clarify/p[provide additional troubleshooting...two other books also having same issue.

[ElleKayEm]

File name before import into calibre, not title of book. The only other toubleshooting I can suggest is double-checking that you chose the correct E-ink Kindle (not a Fire) when downloading. Or that you have its serial number correct in DeDRM. (Copy and paste from the website.) Then re-add the book to calibre.

[Fenway68]

yes, filename before uploading to calibre.

I haven't made any changes to the serial numbers since the last successful conversion on August 3.
I didn't change any of the order of operations in how I add a new book to Calibre.

Any other thoughts? I will try to remove and re-add the serials.

is the old standalone version still available or only the integrated plug-in?

[Fenway68]

removing and re-adding the serials did nothing

[Fenway68]

found the issue....wife added a kindle fire, didn't realize i was downloading for transfer to that device rather than the kindle ereader

[ElleKayEm]

Glad you figured it out. FYI, the last version with stand-alone apps is 6.6.3. So no updates to them since then. If you're all set, you can close the issue.

[Fenway68]

thanks for the help...

Friend sent me this Kindle book as he purchased it from his Kindle account. Not able to remove DRM with the plugin installed in Calibre. Any other suggestions? Thank you.
