Hi this is my first post here.

Hope this helps.

Download Kindle for PC.
Buy your kindle book in the format mentioned.
Google and get Python scripts "unswindle" look for a link with "cabbages" in it.
Save your drm free mobi file.
load it into Calibre
Convert to epub (or sony format)

I did a "cheap test" with "the 3rd pig detective agency" (which was fairly good book btw) I think it cost me a £1. When I was sure it worked I then did the more expensive book.

-------------------------

Why do this?

1)I just bought frankie boyles book for £3.5 at amazon uk - It was at least five quid everywhere else at the time (I think other retailers have been forced to drop some of their prices now)

2)I managed at one point to create a USA amazon account. At some point i'll download Chris Stewart's Lemons books (when price is right). I think this ebook is about £13 if even available in the uk....
