ebook download and amazon shenanigans
Now that amazon brouhaha has subsided.

I’ve found an author that only lists amazon has is “authorized” outlet

Has anything change?

How convoluted has amazon made it do download ebooks, using their app and importing into calibre.

Before they made their recent changes, I had the process working rather well.

Currently, the only method that will be surviving the next week is to have an eInk Kindle, download the books to that Kindle and then import them to calibre. Unless you have an older Kindle, they will be in KFX format and you will need the latest DeDRM autorelease and the KFX Input plugin.

Using K4A has been giving a drop dead date of 26-May-2025 and BookFab has already been blocked by Amazon.

You could still use K4PC 2.4.0 or earlier but those will not download books published after 26-Feb-2025.

Is there something about the 26th of a month that Amazon has a special affection for?

Checked my notes and yes, 22-April-2025. I still thought it was humorous when the K4PC 2.4.0 date was reached and suddenly the earlier version of K4PC inherited that date.

Well, the good thing I found out.

They haven't gone back to re-emcode older books
