If it still works for you: Apprentice Alf’s DeDRM plugin for Calibre.

But I believe this ship has sailed after Amazon’s recent changes…

Did Amazon change their book format?

[-] mbirth@lemmy.ml 3 points 2 months ago

They changed it quite some while ago but you were still able to get books in the older format by using an older Kindle (or Kindle app version). I haven’t checked myself, but heard rumours that this loophole was closed recently.

It's still working, set myself up the other day. You have to use a specific version of the app, an older one, and turn off Internet when installing so you can toggle the auto update off. There is a fork of Alfs code, but I just used the regular one and it was fine.

That sucks, but then again it's par for the course for Amazon. Thanks for explaining.

I am just going to places like the bay.

Epubor Ultimate is the only solution I know of that was updated to handle Amazon's change from earlier this year. It's a commercial package, but worth the money. It took them a couple of months to work around the last changes, but they did it. I expect they will continue to do that as needed going forward.
