Thanks for all your hard work. You helped me out when I needed it. Good luck with your next adventure - and come to New Zealand if things get too sticky where you are. It's summer here so you'd be able to relax on the beach with your liberated ebooks.

Thanks for maintaining such a valuable resource. I bought several hundred ebooks last year, but only because I knew I could remove the DRM and keep them safe. I wouldn't have bought them otherwise!

Thank you very much, you've given us a set of very good tools. And I agree with HenryT, it's a wise decision.

Thank you and farewell
Thank you from the bottom of my heart for all of your efforts and help. But, like the song says, it's knowing when to fold them. Good luck to you, and as someone else here has written, post widely if you need any help - many would be happy to return the favour. You will be much missed. xx |

Did he write the scripts, or just make them easier to find? The former would be more of a problem if Amazon, etc decide to update their DRM.

So I suspect that the people who actually delve deep into the reverse engineering of DRM systems are still out there. |
