Anyone have a good resource on how to DeDRM kfx Kindle books? For Linux desktops? Looks like the latest I could find required running a Windows only keygen to work (if it works). Trying to see if I can’t get something to work on Linux with Calibre before just downloading the books from the high seas.

    The latest DeDRM uses a key from the installed version of the Kindle program, which is for Windows. I think you can use a key from the Android or Amazon tablet versions too, but I’ve never been able to get it to accept those keys

      Ah, thats annoying.

      Yeah I’d probably just grab a clean version somewhere myself. Or if its not available, an extremely short-lived VM just to get that key going.
