The simplest wayis to find the 'updates' folder and replace it with a file. See [this thread] (http://www.mobileread.com/forums/showthread.php?t=283371) at MobileRead for a Script to do this on a PC.

Another possible solution is to use 1.19 or later, but disable KFX by renaming or disabling a necessary component of the application. This may or may not work on versions after 1.25. In a command window, enter the following commands when Kindle for PC/Mac is not running: Another possible solution is to use 1.19 or later, but disable KFX by renaming or disabling a necessary component of the application.

Support for LCP DRM removal was included in the past, but Readium (the company who developed that particular DRM) has decided to [open a DMCA takedown request](https://github.com/github/dmca/blob/master/2022/01/2022-01-04-readium.md) in January 2022. This means that for legal reasons, this GitHun repository no longer contains the code needed to remove DRM from LCP-encrypted books.
