I have this problem right now, sort of. I purchased dozens of Kindle books through my personal Amazon account over the years. Now I prefer to do so through my business account. Yet, I want all of them available through the same device. Well, that’s a pain in the behind. I have to call Amazon support for help and have been procrastinating because I know it will be a one hour ordeal.
This is why I prefer to purchase digital books as PDF files. I keep them on Dropbox and my local drive and they are great to handle and read.

It's "forbidden" but if I paid near physical book retail pricing for it, as far as i'm concerned, that copy of digital content deserves to be mine.
- anticodon 7y agoI was unable to do this for any recent purchase. Calibre could strip DRM only from very old books, like 7-10 years old.

- shadowprofile77 7y agoI had this same problem and what worked for me was to download an old version of Kindle for PC, regardless of the age of the books. I think version 1.17 works. Have copies download to it and then try the Calibre conversion again.
