- kronos29296 9y agoWhich is totally illegal by the way.(I think due to DMCA)
- 15charlimit 9y agoEffectively does not matter if you aren't distributing. Format shifting shouldn't be illegal, regardless.
- gmiller123456 9y ago>Effectively does not matter if you aren't distributing. While publishers don't usually go after end users, they do very often go after the people who make and/or distribute the tools. So, just because you can remove the DRM today doesn't mean you will be able to tomorrow. And it usually means you're downloading and running software on your PC by someone who is not deterred much by something being illegal.
- Frogolocalypse 9y agoThe DMCA is an american law. Last time I looked, I don't live in america.
- yellowapple 9y agoPer the wise words of a certain German musical group: we're all living in America.

- CtrlAltT5wpm 9y agoRemoving DRM is no longer so easy, now that Amazon moved their titles to the KFX format. Last I checked, the only way to do this was a clunky workaround involving either not updating your desktop Kindle software past a certain version, or downloading directly from your account page. The latter option is unavailable if you don't own a Paperwhite.
