So I can actually nuke the Kindle4PC apps, versions 1.17 and 1.26, that I painstakingly set up and tested under Wine because they just don't download ebooks anymore?

Damn.

I have an old Kindle from 2012 (the KPW1). Maybe I'll resurrect it, but the last time I looked, the only way to pay for eBooks at Amazon.com is by credit card; and I don't have one anymore. (I nuked it because I only used it to buy stuff if there was absolutely no other option; and I bought 5 books from Amazon in 12 years. I'm not going to keep a credit card just for that.)

Hopefully ADE 2.01 will be supported indefinitely; or ADE 3.x or later will be DeDRM-able. (Is it? I didn't keep up to be honest...)
