Does anyone have any experience with doing this? It’s not for myself, but for someone who isn’t tech inclined. I want to set him up with FOSS to avoid future shitification by azn. I know I need to strip drm, and then convert out of amz formats, but really have no idea how to do this. Any help would be appreciated! -j

    Have a look at DeDRM Tools.

    A guide can be found on the old repo

    Make sure to use an older Kindle for PC version. I think I have 1.26. With that version you also need the KFX input plugin.

    With the plugins installed, you should be able to drag the files you downloaded with Kindle into Calibre and have it detect them.
    The next step is conversion. Be very careful here, Calibre likes to fuck with images. You’ll probably want EPUB as the target format.
    Set the target device to Tablet, or your images get resized.
    Also disable the title image resizing in the last register.
    I’d recommend you set these setting as default, so you don’t forget changing them.
