DRM not removing - debug file attached

[Pmcc222]

Hi all -

I have a series of azw3 books that I can't remove the DRM from. I completely uninstalled Calibre, reinstalled ver 7.22.0, added DeDRM 10.0.9, and entered my eink serial numbers. This is my 3rd kindle, so I entered all 3 serial numbers. Tried 2 different books I have been having trouble with, and nothing. Here is the debug file from the 2nd book:

Any help would be appreciated!!

When you downloaded it, are you sure you chose one of your E-ink Kindles for the device? Second thing to check is if that Kindle's serial number is entered correctly. Copy and paste from the website and then restart calibre before adding the book.

[Pmcc222]

Yes, I did download it to one of my Kindles. And I copied the serial numbers directly from the Amazon website. And I did restart Calibre prior to adding the book.

[ElleKayEm]

You picked an E-ink Kindle when you downloaded it from the website to your computer, not a Fire tablet?

[Pmcc222]

Yes. I've never had a Fire tablet.

Then I don't know what the issue is. This older format should not be a problem at all. But none of the keys you have in there are the right one for this copy of the book.
