Version 7.2.1 released on 11 April, 2021 Welcome to Apprentice Alf’s blog I still haven’t got KFX to work for me, but I don’t think I’ve actually broken anything this time. I am very grateful to those dedicated developers who spend their free time reverse-engineering the DRM code. In which case, the existing work-arounds to get KF8 format should still work. It may be that Amazon will update Kindle for PC/Mac very quickly. How long this code will work is anyone’s guess.

It also now includes code that should handle the latest KFX encryption used by the latest Kindle for PC and Kindle for Mac. This release incorporates numerous small bug fixes contributed through pull requests to the GitHub repository.
