In this part, I will walk you through how to downgrade Kindle for PC/Mac to older version manually. Since the new kindle kfx DRM has been employed to kindle books since Kindle desktop version 1.25, we only need to downgrade Kindle App for Windows/mac to version 1.17. They are a strong player in the software world and can serve as a canary in the coal mine.Notice: If you are on Mac Catalina 10.15 or later version, downgrading kindle to old version will not work any more, but you still can remove Kindle DRM on Mac. Nice to see that Github which has more to lose feels safe enough hosting such tools.

I have barely been here a year but it wasn't too long after I joined when I saw someone censored for mentioning the name of a DRM removal tool. While DRM removal may be discussed in the abstract, the following are not allowed at MobileRead:ĭiscussing DRM removal to pirate content ĭirect download links to DRM-removal tools.įurther information on our policy on copyright, uploads and DRM can be found here. Looking at the MobileRead FAQs check section 8 of the Posting Guidelines' Talk about taking a sledgehammer to swat a mosquito - who knew that a judge could decide copying a program from your hard drive to RAM constituted making a second unauthorized copy. Evidently some of the software companies were not happy with such discussions and invoked the DMCA. That happened years back to one forum I used to lurk in when some of the discussions went overboard in discussing circumventing software that was locked by such means as a physical dongle (or 'how to Unlock HardLock'), needing a CD in the drive with a sideline in damaged CDs so a copy without the damage wouldn't work, etc. You have to walk that line between free discussion and having MobileRead beset by lawyers. Personally, I feel whiplash when I see someone chastised and the more open and liberal we can be with our rules the better.
