I am officially an old person, as I have subscribed to a magazine. It’s niche, but it’s been around a long time, and having enjoyed a lot of issues in my childhood that were given to me for free, I feel I should give back.

I’m wondering if there are precautions I should take. Can any sort of copy protection be put into PDFs that I should strip out? If I share them as a torrent, should I be worried that the publisher can tell where they came from?

I’ve used calibre to put ebooks on my kindle before but do you have any idea if that would work for books downloaded from kindle unlimited? It’d be great to grab a bunch on my “to read” list and not have to worry about reading them before my subscription runs out.

Yeah, for sure

download it to kindle 2: transfer azw/mobi file to computer 3: open calibre and install DeDRM 4: drag and drop books into calibre 5: calibre is auto de-drm'ing the books so you can now convert them to any format you want or just backup the books
