PRC DRM Removal for Kindle Android Books

Posted by on .

Update in 2020:

PRC is a old Kindle format adopted in the Kindle books from early Kindle Android app. From Kindle for Android V7.2 and later versions, all the downloaded Kindle files are KFX format, not the old PRC format.

And currently there isn't any effective method to directly remove DRM from the Kindle KFX books via Kindle Android app (including Kindle Fire tablet).

The solution is to download Kindle books via Kindle for PC/Mac, or via Kindle Cloud Reader. For details, please go directly to the page -- 4 Methods to Remove DRM from Kindle KFX eBooks in 2020 [Video] .

Does not work at all for me. I have followed all the steps, located the PIDs, entered them, and get the message "Can't find correct PIDs".

Could you upload your patched kindle 4.8.1.10 to share it with US?

Bump?
Who originally developed this method? Why are they not keeping it updated?? Amazon now blocks downloading to K4PC for a lot of books, so we need an Android based DeDRM tool now.

The original scripts is developed by Alf Apprentice, and the problem is, you need combine this script with Kindle for Android APK file.

I have the EPUBOR for removing DRM, and everything works fine on my Kindle Fire--older version 1.
However, I have several books showing PRC format only, and they won't decrypt.  All were purchased directly from Amazon, and sent directly to my KF.

I've read the guide for removing DRM via android devices, but these books were never on an android.
Help!

We do not suggest you remove the DRM from the Kindle for Android device. If you have the computer, please try to download the Kindle for pc/mac. Then run Epubor software to remove the DRM. You can read this guide: https://www.epubor.com/prc-drm-removal-for-kindle-android-books.html
