Hi all,

In light of recent difficulties with removing KFX encryption and download/transfer by USB becoming more restrictive and potentially disappearing altogether, I have brought my old Paperwhite 1 out of retirement as books delivered to it are guaranteed to be non-KFX and thus can be backed up with the DRM removed.

This made me wonder, has someone already looked into and documented how the OTA content delivery mechanism works ?

I would be interested in hacking together a way to spoof the PW1 to have azw3 content delivered directly to a computer in a way that doesn't rely on the continued health of my nearly 11 year old Kindle.

Cheers,
