If there's only a DRM edition, [cough] crack the DRM. Doing this for Kindle ebooks is easy enough that I half-suspect there's a deliberate policy of winking at it on AMZN's part.
I'm not going to tempt fate by providing pointers here but if you ask in the comments on my blog I will be less restrained.
- bausson 12y agoIf it come to that, I suspect Duckduckgo will be kind enough to point me in the right direction. Since ebooks are zip with a well-defined file hierarchy, I may even be able to hack the unnecessary bits to achieve freedom on my own. Nice to see that some authors share that point of view.
- dublinben 12y agoI'd rather not pay to support retailers like Amazon that sell DRM-crippled books, just to (illegally) circumvent it. I'll demonstrate that I don't support this by only buying DRM-free books.
