After the Kindle PC gone?

szaki26a

Hello

The big question is what will happen once Amazon discontinues the Kindle for PC app and requires users to download and read books exclusively through the new Microsoft Store app. Are there any plans to address this? Also, is there a money-back guarantee for BookFab Kindle if the new DRM cannot be easily bypassed? It feels very risky to buy the software right now, so I am hoping for some reassurance.

I’ve just written this as a new question, but I might as well piggyback yours:

I’ve just downloaded BookFab. So far, it has successfully transformed one book (out of about eight tries).

In the middle of this, I got a download from Kindle and a notice saying the Kindle software will be obsolete…soon, I forget the date. The icon has turned grey and it calls itself Legacy Kindle now.

Does anyone have any idea how this might affect BookFab? I haven’t bought it yet and I’m a little frustrated at my hit rate even before this change.

Hi guys, we are aware of this change and are closely monitoring the situation as it develops. For now, there’s no need to be overly concerned. We recommend waiting for Amazon to release more detailed information and for further compatibility testing results. As soon as we have confirmed updates, we will share them with you right away. Thank you.

You misunderstood my question. I haven’t bought BookFab yet. I was trying to explain that it feels too risky to pay over 100 Euros right before Amazon might change its DRM for an unknown period of time. I am asking for a guarantee: if I buy the program despite this news, can I get a refund if there is no solution by August?

Regarding your request for a refund guarantee in case the Amazon DRM issue remains unresolved by August — unfortunately, this falls outside our standard refund policy. You can review the full policy here.

Please note that our policy specifically excludes refunds for the inability to download due to DRM changes by streaming platforms.

That said, we fully understand your concern and would like to suggest the following:

Wait and see how the Amazon DRM situation develops before purchasing.
Try our free trial to test if the software meets your current needs.
If you need a solution now, consider a monthly subscription — lower upfront cost and less risk.

We hope this helps you make a more confident decision. Please feel free to reach out if you have any further questions.

Best regards,
