When I buy ebooks on Amazon I always download them and put them in Calibre. I have also sent copies to my brother. The article states that this is impossible, but Amazon literally has a "download" button. (Although they hide it well)
- Timshel 3y agoDo you have a reliable way to strip DRM ? I used to strip and convert to epub but since the start of the year I can't anymore. Without it means for most book you will not be able load the book on a non kindle reader.
- marzipanWhale 3y agoI haven't needed to do it. I think it's because I download the file for my old Kindle Keyboard 3G, so I probably get a file without DRM. Not sure. Calibre "just works".
- Timshel 3y agoO yeah it's listed in (https://www.mobileread.com/forums/showthread.php?t=283371 https://www.mobileread.com/forums/showthread.php?t=283371, probably : "In addition, the owners of older e-ink Kindles running firmware prior to 5.6.5 (August 2015) can access books in non-KFX formats directly from the device via USB." Don't lose it, might try to buy on old kindle :D
- marzipanWhale 3y agoOh, that's neat. Thanks for finding this. Edit: I don't really care if I lose it, though. I just won't tell Amazon if I do.
