You were able to find a version that still had the LCP scripts in it? Even the older versions at nodrm's github have it removed.
I saved it from back then.

If you are curious to try, you can still find the older DeDRM versions kicking around the Internet. One version is found on Epubor's site as DeDRM Plugin - Special Version if anyone wants to play with it.

This works with the test ebooks from edrlabs testing compliant devices as long as you remember to add their passphrase "edrlab rocks" without the quotes to the passphrase list in DeDRM.
And the LCPL Input plugin needs to be installed as well.

Pretty sure I saved a copy of the old DeDRM version from before LCP support was removed just in case. But that case hasn't happened for me yet.

I have occasionally gotten books from NetGalley as part of the Hugo Voter packet. In future, I can use the send-to-kindle option if needed.
You can't use send-to-kindle because the eBooks you send have to be DRM free ePub. LCP DRM will cause send-to-kindle not to work.

But it's almost worthless (IMHO) as it's a PDF for any eInk Kindle smaller then the Scribe. There's no reason it should be a PDF. It should be an ePub being converted to KF8 or KFX.

A Fire tablet with a large enough screen would do for the PDF. I have a 12.9" iPad Pro that handles PDF well.

It's also worthless if you don't own a Kindle and rarely, if ever, use a Kindle app for reading.

Not totally necessary. You can install Thorium and drag/drop the book.epub file into calibre.

Do you find it easy to read a PDF made for 8.5x11 paper on a small eInk screen? I don't.

In my experience, most of the publishers provided epubs to NetGalley and send-to-kindle arrived as AZW3. A couple times it was a pdf so send-to-kindle actually rendered it completely unreadable. In those cases, I downloaded the (at that time Adobe drmed) pdf and read it on a tablet.

And if @meera is correct, send-to-kindle will end up with a mostly useless PDF. Well done NetGalley.

You didn't say "using send to kindle from netgalley will give you a difficult-to-read PDF". You said "You can't use send-to-kindle".

It's absolutely fine to just say "whoops, I was wrong".

Yes there is send-to-kindle. But it's almost worthless.

Just give it up. You've made your opinions known. Please stop trying to shove them down our collective throats as incontrovertable, universal facts.
