Amazon developed a special email address for Kindle users to register before they use their device. Each device has a unique Send to Kindle email address. To get this unique address, simply go to the Amazon site and visit the 'Manage your Devices' section found in the 'Manage your Kindle' page.

We all know that Kindle is using new KFX format into their eBooks, which causes us more difficult to remove drm and convert kfx formats. Though there is a solution that reverting the Kindle for PC/Mac to an older version, but I would say that it’s not available for Mac Catalina users and Big Sur 11.0 users!

And don’t you think that the reverting is so annoying? Kindle releases newest version of kindle app, why should I downgrade it to an older version (less features, less functions)? What’s worse, with the releasing of Kindle desktop version 1.30, Kindle forces us to update the app all the time!

This blog here I will introduce an exclusive method for you: How to convert Kindle KFX eBooks to EPUB/PDF on Mac Free (with Calibre). This is also an exclusive and effective guide on converting Kindle AZW3 to ePub PDF on Mac in 2020.

(My Environment: Calibre 4.23; DeDRM 6.8; Kindle 1.30; Mac mini M1 Big Sur)

Step1. Delete books via Kindle for Mac.

Launch Kindle for Mac app, Kindle >> Preferences >> Deregister.

The deregistering will delete all your downloaded books from Mac. Then, register it again.

Note:

Step2. Disallow the KFX format downloading on Mac.

If we could avoid the new kfx format eBooks downloading via Kindle for Mac, we will be able to convert kindle books as before, right? Here comes the solution.

Run the Terminal.app, copy&paste the following code, and enter the password.

If you don’t have password or meet error, then run this command:

Step3. Right-click and Download kindle books.

As we’ve executed the command, now we just need to re-download kindle books.

Importance:

The command we executed in step2 is used to disable the kfx format books downloading. In this step we right-click to download book, and then we will get the old format of Kindle books. But if we double click to download, we will still get the new kfx format books. What’s worse, if we opening the book after the downloading, the latest version of kindle for mac will help us download .kcr format books to replace those books we downloaded.

In other words, if we don’t follow this, all the work we did in Step1 and Step 2 is in vain.

Step4. Remove Kindle DRM with Calibre DeDRM plugin.
