- diggan 2y agoDon't know, sorry. I did this the 19th of February according to my logs, via the "DeDRM Plugin (v10.0.3)" in Calibre and it worked fine then at least. Seems this is the repository for the plugin: https://github.com/noDRM/DeDRM_tools https://github.com/noDRM/DeDRM_tools For downloading the files themselves, I think I ended up using this: https://github.com/treetrum/amazon-kindle-bulk-downloader https://github.com/treetrum/amazon-kindle-bulk-downloader Edit: Oh, just saw the warning from the bulk downloader's README now :/ > As of 26th February 2025, Amazon has removed the ability to download backups of your Kindle books. Unfortunately, this means that this tool is no longer functional.
- A_D_E_P_T 2y agoI think that it might still be possible to connect your Kindle to your computer via USB cable and back up the files that way.
- glimshe 2y agoOh well. While before authors could make money off legit users who wouldn't buy without this ability, now these users will have to skip the middle man and go straight to the pirates.
- goosedragons 2y agoDepends on the method. If you have an old Kindle that doesn't get KFX files like a Kindle 3 that should work. Some older versions of Kindle Desktop can still work but maybe not for all books. The Kobo (obok) and ADE methods are still fine and easy to do. I wouldn't bother buying new books from Amazon anymore personally.
