You'll need to go back to a previous version of Kindle for Mac. Be sure to uncheck the option for auto-updates even before uninstalling 1.25. Then make sure it's still unchecked when you get the older version installed. For a link to the last working version, see the bottom of the first post here:
Ahhhhh..... had installed earlier version and it was not working. Forgot that earlier version used a difference directory for its books. Had to look in old directory. Added azw from old directory. Calibre installed KFX instead of KFX-ZIP. NOW you can't simply open by clicking on KFX, you have to right click and identify you want to open file with Kindle. However with Howells plugins, I CAN convert to e-pub WOW...
Thanks....
I can import azw (KFX-zip) freshly downloaded with Kindle for macOS v1.25.2 into Calibre with DeDRM and Howell's plugin enabled, all the metadata is there, but I can't read them in the Calibre viewer, and I can't convert them either.
However, there's no going back to earlier versions of Kindle for Mac, because those are 32-bit. Sure, that old junk still runs on macOS, including Mojave, but not for long, so we'll eventually need a method to remove DRM from KFX-zip.
@apprenticealf @apprenticeharper - is this a known issue?
is this a known issue?
Yes. The FAQ was recently updated to indicate that version 1.25 of Kindle for Mac is not currently supported. (Kindle for PC is not mentioned but the same applies to that software.)
Using Mac 10.13.1 Kindle 1.25.2 latest calibre and drm packages. It worked previously until I updated Calibre and now it's not working at all.
I don't know anything about computers. Please help :(
