I bought a 'slave' Kindle device to use [for the serial number] so that I can upload my purchased Kindle books (previously read on a Kindle reader on my iPad) to my ReMarkable. But I get the message that the DRM won't allow the conversion to Epub. The kindle's working fine and I can load books on there.

Update to DeDRM 10.0.9: https://github.com/noDRM/DeDRM_tools/releases/tag/v10.0.9

You are downloading new copies of the books and choosing the e-ink Kindle for the device? Make sure the Kindle's serial number is correctly enter in DeDRM's customization by copy & pasting it from the website.

Hi. Thank you so much for replying. I'm downloading books that I've purchased, but I may be re-reading them. So not necessarily 'new'. They do download to my Kindle via the USB. Serial number has been copied and pasted and is correct. I am using the e-ink Kindle version, to store the serial number. I'm not entirely sure what I'm doing wrong. I followed a YouTube video (which is where I heard about your Plug-in). Do they have to be 'new and unread' books? Cheers, Lee

No, just that they need to be copies where you selected the E-ink Kindle as the device when you downloaded them. Books for different devices or apps will have different keys even if the devices/apps are logged into the same account.

v10.0.9 worked nicely for me! I was having issues with v7.x ...
