Or install a particular old version of kindle and then try to use the Calibre/DeDRM. If that doesn't work you'll have to go a slightly different route.Įither try epubor (some have had success with this). Also, convert to Mobi if not otherwise doing that. After that everything worked and I haven't touched the software since (still convert books but have not updated anything). I clicked the eInk Kindle Ebooks button and entered my serial number there. In any event, I entered by kindle serial # by going to the DeDRM plugin (go to preferences, plugins, and check user installed plugins).ĭouble click the plugin and it will open a popup. I don't recall ever seeing this in any steps described somewhere so it's possible something just went a little haywire on that first attempt on the new machine. I *think* it didn't work until I added my kindle serial number. I believe the last time I installed this software after building a new machine it didn't work for me initially either. I do also have DeDRM plugin installed in Kindle.

I usually do the 'download to USB' as I have an old kindle as well.
