7 months agoDo you have access to an old kindle device? That makes it pretty easy with Calibre and the noDRM plugin.
It was easier when you could download it to your computer, but Amazon disabled that last year because so many people were removing the DRM.
According to the terms, when you purchase a Kindle e-book, you are buying a license to access the content rather than owning the book outright. And the only reason they made it explicit is CA law AB 2426. So you can “access” it on any device that can display their content, be it an app or hardware device, but you can’t possess it via a download for example. (I find this all to be bullshit, I’m just stating Amazon’s position on the topic)

This is a big part of why I have a kobo, the files are easy to scrub of the DRM but I’m still getting an easy way to throw money at creators I value.
