The listing for that book shows, "Available only on Kindle Scribe (1st Generation)." I don't have a Scribe but I was still able to add the free sample of that book to my library. Trying to download it to my Kindle Oasis or the Kindle apps for iOS or Android results in a popup error:
Unavailable for Download
The item is not compatible with this device.
So apparently even the free sample can only be delivered to a Scribe.
It is odd that Amazon allows Write-on eBooks to be delivered to a Scribe but not regular print replica books. I wonder whether there is something different about the internal format these new Write-on books.
If someone does purchase one of these I would be interested in seeing the contents of the associated .sdr file from a Scribe to look for any metadata of interest. |
I purchased this book to see if I could remove DRM: yes you can. I'll get you an .sdr.
It's overpriced, especially since you can get infinite supply at

And you pay for a bunch of Easy puzzles that are a waste of time.
I speculate that it is a business/marketing decision on Amazon's part to withhold other Print Replica content: they're saving it for a Back To School Scribe promotion, perhaps in July (it would help if they finished the
Markup PDF feature by then).
Ironically Pen toolbar does not appear for the Sample. I don't know if this was publisher's decision or some technical issue.
I tried compressing the entire sdr folder but too big to upload. Attaching the metadata.kfx, maybe that is enough?
