It looks to me like it is pretty much the same as Adobe and Amazon, as far as where to find the files, not any more hidden. Luck; Ken |

It is.
They're taking something very simple, cost effective (and very clearly a desired and sought out commodity) and just f'ing it up all around. People want to throw money at your electrons ... again, and again, and again. Stop discouraging them from doing so. ![]() |

Yes, you can have books delivered wirelessly to devices and apps alike. But "download and transfer via USB" is available only for Kindle devices (unless the book's already drm-free of course).

Is that another clue to what is DRM free at Amazon? (For those that don't have Kindles.)

Sorry, no. I probably mispoke. I don't think that option is available from the MYK page for drm-free books if you don't have a Kindle. I just meant that once you have the drm-free file, you can transfer it willy-nilly. You're probably in the same boat, truth be told, with a drm-free book if you don't have a Kindle, no Wifi, and no computer with the Kindle reading app installed.

Has anyone explained why it is "more secure" to do this? It's good that the loopholes are open, but if this supposed security measure can be circumvented by B&N's own apps or a script, it doesn't look like B&N is taking its own security very seriously.
In any event perhaps it's good that they took this move now, because isn't Nook's future totally up in the air? It may inspire some to stop buying, or to future-proof their libraries. Nook was supposed to be sold or spun off in early 2015, so there is not much time before that happens. |

Yes, but if you have the Kindle application for your PC or MAC, you can download the files from within the application to your computer, and then de-drm and import them into Calibre. It's really harder to describe than it is to do. Once done, the books are yours to do with as you please. You do not need to own a Kindle to download Amazon books to your computer.

The thought experiment was getting your purchase on a device (or into an app) when all you have is a borrowed, internet-connected PC (that you don't/can't have Kindle for PC on--perhaps you're travelling/visiting), a usb cable and no Wifi. With a registered Kindle device, you can at least download the file for USB transfer using nothing but the browser. With no registered Kindle device in the same scenario, you're out of luck. The same scenario with Nook (now that they've discontinued browser downloads), and you're completely out of luck. Of course you're always good to go at home with all the necessary reader programs, your special greasemonkey/tampermonkey scripts installed, and Python with alf-scripts and/or calibre with alf-plugins. ![]() Last edited by DiapDealer; 09-21-2014 at 05:01 PM. |
