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.

Thank you for the clarification and expansion of the description of its transformation of the law. Copyright was a "right" - I wonder how many people even notice the spelling.

A handshake. A reward for creation, limited to guarantee quick addition of the creation to human progress.

Now through bribes and control of legislatures by money, it is applied as a weapon, with generations of control given to "rights purchasers" not content creators.

DRM is NOT copyright law. It is a kludge to enforce rich corporate power, using excuses from lawyers.

DRM is "fuck you" training to get you over "the customer is always right" expectations about corporations.

I backed @pluralistic 's project to support one of my favourite authors in his no- #DRM policy for #audiobooks and #ebooks so he sees many people support him his past actions and for his future endeavours.

If you appreciate that you can read and listen great stories with #FreeSoftware, and if you want to support him writing future stories inspiring the younger generation, please support him as well:
