You can however still download and use an older version of the kindle program (at least on windows), which download the files with the old DRM scheme.
It's one by one though.
- themadturk 4y agoYou can find older Kindle versions for Mac as well without too much effort.
- rdl 4y agoDidn't work very well on M1 mac with latest OS when I tried but I can probably run it on x86 somewhere.
- themadturk 4y agoI looked and I'm running 1.30.0. It wants to update every time I start it, but I just say no and it runs (slowly) but fine.
- themadturk 4y agoI’m away from my M1 Mac at the moment so I’m not sure which older version of Kindle I ended up installing, but it worked fine to download my books, which was all I needed it to do.
- cafeinux 4y agoQEMU might be an answer. Not a sexy one, but DRM has never been a sexy issue.
- kcartlidge 4y agoAnecdotally, I've become aware that the Windows Kindle installer version 1.17 works fine for downloading your paid-for Kindle books and format-shifting them or making a personal back-up in a more open form. That information was current about a year or so ago; hopefully that version has not been hobbled since. Also, disable auto-updating. I strongly suggest you only use it for your own purchases. Authors need to heat and eat too.
- RealStickman_ 4y agoKindle 1.26 works as of a week ago, if you also install the KFX Input in addition to dedrm. Best to look at the readme for such tools to get the latest info in any case.
