kennedn · 11-15-2020, 08:41 AM

As you may be aware, Audible devices/apps require that a license file be present to allow the playback of audible content.

As it stands, the Audible/Amazon login flow has changed so much that older Kindle models (1, 2, DX & 3), can no longer log in and retrieve this license by themselves.

Additionally with Amazon's apparent shelfing of AudibleManager. There is now no real way for these old devices to retrieve their activation and play .aax and .aa content.

Introducing kindlepass, a tool for streamlining the retrieval of licenses for these devices. Written in python and working on both Windows and Linux.

Features

Windows / Linux Support
Auto-detection of plugged-in Kindles on Linux
Full CLI wizard
Install licenses directly to device
Generate activation bytes, allowing native playback and drm removal.
