There's a new way to liberate purchased Kindle books from Amazon's DRM.

https://blog.pixelmelt.dev/kindle-web-drm/

A few points to note:

* Hardcoded to the .com store, but trivial to change to .co.uk
* Uses OCR - so some odd / annoying mistakes - especially around punctuation.
* Every line is wrapped in a `<p>` element - which breaks reflow.

But, other than that, remarkably capable. Once you've got your session token, it only takes a couple of minutes to get an ePub.

When you can't reveal the definition of verisimilitude, what do you do? Buy a refurbed Kindle Voyage. When you're bored with old tech, what do you do? Buy a new Kindle Nothing that fits in your hand.

There's a new jailbreaking method for Kindle devices running firmware versions 5.18.1 through 5.18.5. Called AdBreak, it *only* works on Kindles with "special offers" (ads) enabled, so the Kindle Colorsoft and Scribe aren't supported. #Kindle #AmazonKindle #eReader #Jailbreak #AdBreak https://blog.the-ebook-reader.com/2025/09/26/new-kindle-jailbreak-released/

Amazon may be developing a cheaper Kindle with a color display. Leaked pictures show a prototype with no front light and a 6 inch screen screen. It's said to have better color saturation and more features that make use of color though. https://www.reddit.com/r/kindle/comments/1mp8n11/a_amazon_quebrou_a_parte_deles_do_contrato_ent%C3%A3o/#Kindle#KindlePetitColor#EInk

How NOT to sell a lot of ebooks:

"Digital products purchased on SimonandSchuster.com must be read on the Simon & Schuster Books app.”

Another app just to use your product, for ONE book? So you can track me to infinity and beyond? Won’t work on a Kindle or my Kobo?

Bye.

My ancient 2013-era #Kindle Paperwhite keeps on deleting sideloaded ebooks, which means that I should probably shop for a new reading tablet.

So, what small-sized #Android #eink tablet can people recommend which also runs the Kindle app without any problems?

(These days, I try to avoid the Kindle store as much as I can, but I am loath to give up my vast library of Kindle ebooks entirely. Although I fortunately still have copies of most the files back when it was still possible to crack the #DRM .)
