Have you done any DRM stripping recently? I bought books back in my Kindle days that are now trapped there. They made changes last year so you can't easily transfer files on to your Kindle reader and I think they tightened the DRM too. I tried via Calibre, which used to work but doesn't any more.
DRM is always a moving target. For a long time I used the free DeDRM tools in combination with Calibre to remove it from Kindle books, but that software is no longer supported. There are several commercial options. The only one I've found that has really kept up with the changes is EPubor Ultimate.
When the big change hit, almost nothing worked for a while. EPubor got their DRM-removal working again in a month or so. Since then, I don't think they've ever been more than a week behind in updating their software to deal with the changes.
I hate DRM. I pay for everything I use and feel that I should be treated as a valued customer and not as a probable thief.
Thanks! For me, finding books I'd bought and paid for locked away underlined the stupidity of DRM. If they were print books, I could lend them to people, sell them, give them away. Because they'd belong to me, I bought them. No fuss about intellectual property rights or whatever.
