If you can't take full control of your paid content, then you are not its true owner. So you have to decrypt the DRMed eBooks to back up your paid books.
2Convert eBook's format.
You may have your favorite e-ink reader or reader apps, but they don't support your purchased book format. So what should you do? With no doubt, you need to convert the decrypted books to the formats which are supported by your preferred reader devices or apps.

for kindle drm removal, need to amend the steps to the following -
First, download epubor ultimate and set-up and get a license to support the company! :) I am using Epubor ultimate 3.0.13.719 at the time of this writing.
Second, download Kindle for PC (win-10, i tried it with ver 1.32.0(6119)) and register with my amazon account as per guide above. you can refresh and see your books, but please don't download any books.
Then download kfx_begone command prompt tool - https://epubor.com/how-to-deal-with-the-new-kindle-update.html#method1
- VERY IMPORTANT TO NOTE:
a) make sure kindle app is closed before running the tool. Reason being, the tool will execute Kindle app in a peculiar method, and allow you to download the ebooks you purchased.
b) run command prompt with/as administrator mode
c) i ran it, with lots of error messages, but eventually, the kindle app loads and the command prompt batch process paused. It typically require 20-40 seconds before it pauses and kindle app loads.
Once kindle app is launched using the command prompt launch method, you can download the books you want to unlock DRM.
Then finally, launch epubor ultimate, go to kindle tab, and drag the books you want to free DRM.
that's it!
I spent hours figuring things out, i thought the old kindle app refresh (auto-downgrade) was related to my Win10, ran Virtualbox VM and nope, its not related to PC, rather its the Amazon sign-in page that has been 'changed'.
hope this helps you guys! now i can free up DRM on my kindle books and read with Google Books! Yeay!!!
