Was this downloaded with the current installation of Kindle for PC on the same machine and user?

[love2help]

Yes, But book downloaded was under prime reading and not a purchase.

[ElleKayEm]

That's the issue. DeDRM is for purchased books.

[love2help]

OK, I got a hint that's why I pointed it out. Are you sure it can't be DeDRMed? What is the difference b/w purchase book file and this one? I would love to know more.

[ElleKayEm]

If you buy the book, you will be able to DeDRM it. Prime Reading, Kindle Unlimited, and rented books are flagged as such in their DRM.

[love2help]

Thanks for your time! I have one more query, I am using Kindle for PC 1.24.3 (51068). Is it all right? https://apprenticealf.wordpress.com/2020/06/18/dedrm-tools-6-8-0-released/ Update in bold is directing to use version below 1.27. Any clarification please?

[ElleKayEm]

Yes, version 1.24 is fine. Starting with version 1.27, Amazon made a change to the KFX format DRM which the current version of DeDRM can't handle.
