Jan 25, 2013 - Install the Kindle DRM-Removal plugin into Calibre by opening Calibre. Plugin – eInk Kindle ebooks – I then entered my Kindle serial.
Just added Calibre back after computer upgrade. It was working before the upgrade, but when I reinstalled, it no longer removes DRM. I am using Kindle for PC version 1.17. I also tried downloading file from Amazon. Neither option works.
I also tried the suggestion of deregistering Kindle for PC and deleting the folder on my computer.

After I reinstalled, I am still getting the same issue.
Here is the debug file:

The Amazon Kindle is a portable e-book device. It features wireless capabilities that allow its users to download e-books, newspapers, magazines and other digital content. In order to download e-books and other content, the Kindle must first be registered with its serial number. The Kindle's serial number is printed on the outside of the Kindle box; if the box is missing, it is also accessible from within the Kindle's 'Settings' menu.
Step 1
Turn on your Kindle device and wait for it to power up. Press the 'Home' button.
Step 2
Press the 'Menu' button. Use the Kindle's five-way controller button to underline the 'Settings' item on the screen. Press the controller to enter the 'Settings' menu.
Check the bottom of the screen for the serial number. Your Kindle's serial number begins with 'B00' and is 16 digits long.
