It wasn't the last time I tried it, but I'd be happy to hear if this has changed.
I don't own a Kindle, which some people are saying is required for the Calibre method, which might have been the issue I had in the past.
- dredmorbius 7y agoThat's a fair caution. Calibre used to work well with Kindle formats, though I've heard of issues more recently. I do a lot of dump-to-markdown then re-tag to preferred formats, largely using Pandoc. That's more intensive, but highly effective.
- jpindar 7y agoIt works for me. What you do is download the Kindle file format from "Manage Your Content and Devices","Actions", "Download & transfer via USB". This gives you a different format than the files sent directly to a Kindle, and the DeDRM plugin for Calibre unlocks these.
