It is trivially easy to remove DRM with a plugin for Calibre.
- protonbob 2y agoNot with the latest encryption. Although you can always screenshot and ocr. Or maybe I've missed something new.
- EA-3167 2y agoUnless latest means "In the last few months" then no it's still trivial. I buy a lot of "Kindle" books, but I always rip the DRM and make an ebook version I actually use and archive. My attitude is that once I pay for a song/game/book/etc... it's no one's business, but my own how I use it (for myself I mean, obviously uploading it to others is a different issue).

- goosedragons 2y agoFor books from Amazon. Still trivial to remove DRM from Kobo, Google Play, any place that uses Adobe DRM.
- NoboruWataya 2y agoI think it's easier with some providers than others. I bought an Amazon ebook that I was really struggling to de-DRM (so I promptly returned it and have only bought books with Adobe DRM since).
- seszett 2y agoIt's probably even easier to download them from Z-Library after having bought them on whatever legal platform.
- nottorp 2y agoErm, i have a "friend" that has a few fancy signed physical hard covers that were never opened... because they took their sweet time to arrive so said "friend" downloaded the epub... Also back in the day when games came on discs, they used to download the no cd crack before opening the shrink wrapped box.
- loughnane 2y agoI think we have the same friend. He told me he likes to download a book to get a feel for it… like thumbing through a book in a bookshop. If it’s good, he goes ahead and buys it.
