The KFX format can only be decrypted if it was downloaded with Kindle for Mac 1.26 or earlier.
Since you have E-ink Kindles, I suggest downloading your books from the website and choosing one of those Kindles for the device.
Or you can disable KFX downloads from Kindle for Mac with method 2 here: https://www.mobileread.com/forums/showthread.php?t=283371

Hmm, he said he had already entered the serial numbers for the Kindles. Do I understand that even WITH them, the ebook still MUST be downloaded in K4M 1.26 or earlier? That Kindle serial numbers WON’T work in K4M 1.27 and higher?

Kindle serial numbers don't work on books from any version of the Kindle app.

OK - I tried downloading, but it is not really feasible with more than 500 books - I can not download wore than one book at a time from the Amazon website. Or am I missing something?
The disabling only works for version 1.31 and below, but the recent version is 1.34.
No, no bulk download from the website. And yes you would need to get an earlier version of Kindle for Mac -- and prevent it from updating. I think you would also need to download those one at a time in the app to avoid getting KFX format -- but I'm not sure about that. If one of your Kindles is older -- running firmware prior to 5.6.5 (August 2015) -- you can get non-KFX format books directly from it.
Just downgrade your K4Mac version to 1.26, it still works...

It happens for me as well, but I think it's architecture related. When I try to customize the plugin I get: calibre, version 5.42.0 ERROR: Unhandled exception: OSError:dlopen(/usr/local/lib/libcrypto.dylib, 0x0006): tried: '/usr/local/lib/libcrypto.dylib' (mach-o file, but is an incompatible architecture (have 'arm64', need 'x86_64')), '/usr/local/lib/libcrypto.1.1.dylib' (mach-o file, but is an incompatible architecture (have 'arm64', need 'x86_64'))

@altitudedashboard How have you installed calibre? and libcrypto ? libcrypto in /usr/local should not be involved
Question / bug report
M1 MacBook, running Monterey 12.2.1
I am trying to import and remove DRM from a number of Amazon kindle books, but it always tells me "Wrong key" (see log below).
I have entered the serial numbers from my two kindles (eInk Kindle eBooks), and have added the default_key to the "Kindle for Mac/PC ebooks" section.
All three are used (log file) but none works. What am I missing?
Which version of Calibre are you running?
5.37
Which version of the DeDRM plugin are you running?
v10.0.2
If applicable, which version of the Kindle software are you running?
1.34.1 (63102)
