Reader for drm removal
I read on my mac in "other then" kindle reader. As far as I can tell drm removal for the osx is currently dead. So, can someone lead me to a setup for drm removal? Starting from scratch, which e reader and version, software and version, etc. There is probably an existing thread but I can't find it.

Currently, all eink Kindles no longer receiving updates, that is, up to and including the Oasis 3 from 2019. The safest would be pre-KFX models - Kindle Keyboard, basic Kindles with buttons from 2011-2012 and Kindle Touch from 2011.

Any version of Calibre and deDRM 10.0.9 or alpha.

It's actually easier to by from Kobo.com and use calibre with DeDRM and the ACSM Input plugin to download the ePub and remove DRM. This way you won't have to try to find a used old Kindle that's not blacklisted.

Using that method, you don't have to buy anything other then the eBooks.

You can usually price match at Kobo so it's not an issue.
