You can use Download and Transfer via USB for Kindle eBooks you've purchased. But not Kindle Unlimited/Prime eBooks. In order to download such eBooks published after January 3rd, 2023, you will need an older Kindle.

I'm in Australia. I don't have access to Kindle Unlimited. All my Kindle books are purchased. I think I'll be ok. Thx.

Would you mind sharing the URL you downloaded it from and/or a hash of the file?

The Android app uses the extension ".prc" for book files in MOBI or KF8 (azw3) format. It looks like you have a usable file there. It is the same size as that book's .azw3 file delivered to my older Kindle device.

That book has DRM so you will need to extract the decryption key for the Kindle Android app from BlueStacks in order to make use of it.

I am not familiar with BlueStacks, but a quick Google came up with: In BlueStacks, at the top right, click the Gear, Settings, Preferences, and check "Enable Android Debug Bridge (ADB)".

If that doesn't work it might be possible to obtain the needed file if BlueStacks allows access the app's private storage or if the emulated Android OS can be rooted.

Based on what you have done so far this could likely turn out to be a viable alternative to using Kindle for PC/Mac and avoid the need to obtain an e-ink Kindle to obtain access to books. Please keep us updated.

Oh yeah. I've made that mistake when deciding to look up a book late at night.

I'm pretty sure those glasses are real. It could be in the series that he wears ones without lenses due to glare (like Rog's glasses in What's Happening). But I do believe the glasses are more than a fashion accessory.

And if I'm wrong, well hey, it was good enough for Sylvester Stallone...

I buy Kindles and I buy Kobos.

I use both.

I like both.

I like Kobo's firmware better than Kindle's firmware.

I like Kindles hardware better than Kobo's hardware.

I like buttons.

I enjoy buying books I want to read from both Amazon and Rakuten, and I am one happy little b̶a̶s̶t̶ camper.

See this

https://github.com/noDRM/DeDRM_tools...20Key_Help.htm

adb acquired from https://developer.android.com/studio...platform-tools

Since I was using Bluestacks emulator rather than an actual device, I had to enable the option in the Bluestacks settings.

I can't test for KU as I don't have Prime. I'll see if I can find a sample.
