My best guess is that you moved the kfx file out of its original folder structure on the Colorsoft and KFX Input couldn't find the other related files needed for DeDRM to decrypt it. Doesn't matter for the non-kfx book from your Kindle Touch which DeDRM can decrypt on its own. |

Thank you for the reply. As far as I know I'm not doing that. My method of decrypting and uploading books has always been to first select the device icon at the top of Calibre to display the book list and then click-drag a title up to the library icon, so it is converting the book directly from the device with no intermediate file storage. |

Post a debug log of adding the book should show what's going wrong. |

Solved it. I apparently needed to upgrade my version of Calibre 64-bit from 7.whatever I was running to the latest version 8.6.0. The clue was in the debug log that produced the kfx import error that was exactly as you described, the import failed as if the kfx file was being removed from its book directory, even though I tried to do it two ways (I also tried right clicking on the book in my device and selecting "add to library". Apparently the old version of Calibre would still copy the file to a temp directory first before doing the conversion. |

Perhaps something to do with the latest Kindles having MTP instead of USB Mass Storage and updated calibre handling that better. You can mark this question as answered. |

I upgraded from a Kindle Touch 4 to a new Kindle Colorsoft. Before anyone asks, yes, I went into the configuration settings in Calibre to update the serial number to the one for my new Kindle. (Old one started B0XX XXXX XXXX XXXX, new one starts with GNXX XXXX XXXX XXXX) and just to verify, I used the exact same version of Calibre, the exact same version of DeDRM 10.0.9, the exact same version of KFX Input 2.25.0 since this was the same computer, AND the exact same E-book downloaded to both Kindles directly from Amazon. The KFX book on my old Touch 4 converts just fine. The same KFX book on my new Kindle downloads as kfx-zip. Any ideas? Thanks in advance.
