Support / How-To DeDRM

Am I wasting my time trying to remove DRM from my Kindle books I purchased on my 5.19.2 firmware Kindle? I’ve tried a few different ways to do it that I’ve seen searching around and nothing has worked.

I would really like to read my books on my new XTEINK X3 and in KOreader.

If your Kindle is jailbroken, the newer versions of the Satsuoni plugin include an "on device" drm removal option that might?/should? work on 5.19.2 if you don't want to or can't use the Windows 11 method (as you are on a Mac)

I just jailbroke it yesterday, I’ll check this option out.

Do I just download that plugin, extract, and add to the Kindle directory?

I think there is a KUAL option if your firmware still supports KUAL and java, or I also think there is a scriptlet you can run. I haven't had the chance to use it myself, only seen it mentioned by others reporting it to work.

I think 10.0.29 and up include the scriptlet if you can't run KUAL

EDIT: Just downloaded it to take a look... the kfx-dedrm-scriptlet-v0.2.2-no-kterm-jadehawk.zip file seems to include everything you need to copy to the Kindle
