- piperswe 3y agoDoesn't it still work if you download the book file for a Kindle from the website, then plug your Kindle serial number into DeDRM?
- izacus 3y agoThey've been closing down those loopholes over the years.
- snailmailman 3y agoThere are workarounds for this change now. I don’t remember the details, but there is a way to strip drm from 2023 books. It’s a relatively recent development I think. Did not even require a physical kindle. (I think for a while the only method did require one)
- criddell 3y agoThe workaround for a while was to have an old version of the Kindle for PC software on your computer and download the flies from there. You would get older versions that had crackable DRM. They’ve pretty much closed this loophole. IIRC now you need an older physical Kindle that doesn’t support KFX files and you can download files for that device. It’s still a crappy workaround because the older file format doesn’t have any of the latest typography features.
- themadturk 3y agoYeah, this is what made me abandon Amazon for Kobo.
- larme 3y agoIt think this should still work for Kobo ebook?
- themadturk 3y agoKobo books use a completely different DRM, Adobe Digital Editions. It is apparently easier to strip DRM from these books than from Amazon.
- marcus_holmes 3y agoEasy: stop buying books from Amazon
- pjmlp 3y agoDoesn't help when the alternative is to buy on paper, and it is a 1000 page tome. Even on IT related ebooks, some authors only publish their ebooks on Amazon.
- m463 3y agoI thought this was just kindle unlimited books, not purchased books.
