1. Why should You Remove DRM from eBooks
There are compelling reasons to consider removing DRM from your purchased ebooks. Here's why:
1Back up your paid content.
If you can't take full control of your paid content, you aren't its true owner. Decrypting DRM-protected ebooks allows you to back up your paid books, ensuring you have ownership and control over your digital library.
2Convert eBook formats.
Your preferred e-ink reader or reader apps may not support the format of your purchased books. In such cases, decrypting and converting ebooks to formats compatible with your preferred devices or apps becomes essential for seamless reading.
3Freely Share Ebooks.
Sharing purchased books with family and friends without limitations is significant. Removing DRM enables you to share your ebooks without restrictions, saving money and preventing the need for multiple purchases of the same ebook within your close circle.

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!!!
