When Amazon launched the newest version of its Kindle ebook format in 2015, the improved typography and hyphenation came at a price. Each KFX ebook was delivered as a collection of files with no obvious details other than unfamiliar file suffixes and a new type of DRM.

Apprentice Alf Kindle For Mac Keys
This problem only intensified last year when Kindle for PC gained support KFX and made it harder to download a Kindle ebook that could be deDRMed, but now we have a solution. The latest version of the Apprentice Alf DRM-stripping tools was released last week, and it now works on KFX ebooks. According to the blog post, this is a beta release.

Jul 12, 2017 We don’t know about you, but we don’t particularly care to be told how we can enjoy the media we’ve paid good money for. In fact, we opted not to put DRM on our book The How-To Geek Guide to Windows 8 specifically for that reason. We respect you as a reader of this site, a consumer, and a person far too much to restrict how you can enjoy a book you purchase from us. In this VM I have the Kindle for PC app registered to my Amazon account. I’ll assume you already have Calibre running and you’ve installed Apprentice Alf’s DeDRM plug-in. Next, do a one-time configuration step: capture the Kindle key from your Windows PC and copy it to Calibre so it can DeDRM Kindle books. Many thanks to Apprentice Sakuya for their work on this. This means that this release now works with the latest (1.28) version of Kindle for PC and Kindle for Mac.Update: Amazon has made changes to the KFX encryption since this release which affect Kindle for PC/Mac versions 1.27 and later.
That new DRM was unbreakable, and that caused a lot of problems for those who want to protect their purchases. This problem only intensified last year when Kindle for PC gained support KFX and made it harder to download a Kindle ebook that could be deDRMed, but now we have a solution.

The latest version of the Apprentice Alf DRM-stripping tools was released last week, and it now works on KFX ebooks.
According to the blog post, this is a beta release:
This release incorporates works by several people to give initial KFX support to the plugin. If you are not interested in removing DRM from the new Kindle KFX format, then there is no need to update at this time. We still recommend using the older Kindle formats when possible for more successful conversion into other formats.
Install the KFX Input Plugin to automatically locate all of the files that make up a KFX format book and gather them into a KFX-ZIP. After the DeDRM plugin removes the DRM, then the KFX Input Plugin will package it into a single KFX file.
You can download the files from Github. Bug reports should be left on the Apprentice Alf blog.
I’ve been a big reader since I was a kid, all kinds of books from many sources. I was an early Kindle adopter, but as Android tablets came out I found them better for reading:
- Configurable: you can set a wider variety of fonts, sizes, margins, colors, layouts.
- Open: you can install any number of reading apps for every eBook format available. You’re not locked into any single book ecosystem.
- Graphics: books with pictures, diagrams, etc. are much better on a tablet. Even a large eInk reader lacks color and renders slower.
Due to the variety of books I read, no single ecosystem would do the job. Plus, I take a principled opposition to any company that tries to lock customers into its ecosystem. When I buy a book I don’t believe I’ve bought it to read on a particular device, in a particular format, to access whenever some corporation thinks I should be able to. I’ve bought the right to read it on any device, in any format, whenever I want to, forever. Just like a real book. Indeed, eBooks often cost as much as real books even though the marginal cost of the next eBook sold is zero. And, I run native Linux on all my computers.
All of this all led me to start using Calibre to manage my eBooks. Calibre is simply great – it meets all these needs and more. It’s a great organizer, supports all devices, all formats, can convert between them, and has many plugins with an active open source development community.

Even though I run Linux, I have a VM running Windows. I don’t use it for much, only those few apps that I can run natively on Linux or in a browser. Unfortunately, Amazon Kindle is one of those. In this VM I have the Kindle for PC app registered to my Amazon account.
I’ll assume you already have Calibre running and you’ve installed Apprentice Alf’s DeDRM plug-in.
Next, do a one-time configuration step: capture the Kindle key from your Windows PC and copy it to Calibre so it can DeDRM Kindle books.
