Re: Calibre DRM Removal Tools no longer work with Kindle ebooks ...

My Calibre version is 0.8.16, and as long as things are working, I'm not going to "upgrade" any of the elements mentioned above.

It is my understanding from reading posts here that K4PC versions above 1.4.1 alter the book file a bit and sometimes prevent the plug-ins used with Calibre from working.
To find 1.4.1 I did a Google search and eventually found it.
Good luck.
Thank you so much for your repsonse!

It's good to know that deleting all the books and reinstalling everything fixed the problem for you.

So you didn't have to uninstall and then reinstall Calibre before reinstalling your tools and they reset with the new PID for the new version of K4PC?

For Calibre, I have 0.8.17 now but can rollback to 0.8.3 and I'm wondering if I should reinstall 0.8.3 or just keep the most recent version of Calibre. Does it make any difference regarding the plugins?

It's strange that I started having this problem even though I had K4PC version 1.3 installed which is before it started breaking the tools.
