The last Kindle for PC version in which KFX can be disabled using the method described below is 1.24.3 (51068) and the last Kindle for Mac version is 1.31. It is possible to prevent some older versions of Kindle for PC/Mac from making use of KFX format by applying a change to the software. Method 2B - Disable KFX support in Kindle for PC/Mac The batch file must always be used to launch Kindle for PC before downloading books. If Kindle for PC is started without using KFX_begone4 it will revert to allowing KFX. If that happens remove the book and download it again. If a book downloads while the batch file is in progress it may be delivered in KFX format. After that any books downloaded using Kindle for PC will be in the older Kindle formats. The batch file may take several seconds to terminate.

(Thanks to DNSB.) When launched this batch file will start Kindle for PC and then apply a registry change to disable KFX format. KFX_begone4.bat can be downloaded from this post. (This method does not apply to Kindle for Mac or to Kindle for PC version 1.35 and later.) It is possible to prevent versions of Kindle for PC up to version 1.34 from making use of KFX format by using a special batch file to launch the program.

Method 2A - Disable KFX support in Kindle for PC at startup See the end of this post for ways to prevent undesired updating of the Kindle app.

Method 1 - Revert to an older version of Kindle for PC/Mac The following descriptions apply both to Kindle for PC and Kindle for Mac unless one is mentioned explicitly. There are several methods for either avoiding or handling KFX format. Unless additional steps are taken, these books will fail to convert in calibre with the error: "KFXError: This is an Amazon KFX book.

There is also a new method (#6) using an old version of the Kindle for Android app described here.

(Details in this thread.)This means that methods 1, 2, and 4 described below are no longer effective for those books. Important update: Amazon has made a change to their service so the books published since can no longer be downloaded using Kindle for PC or Mac versions prior to 1.39.
