A possible solution to the NetGalley LCP problem?
I don't do NetGalley so can't confirm if it works. But thought I'd throw this out here:

Have NetGalley Send-to-Kindle, obtain file from Kindle device or Kindle for PC, then import into calibre to liberate and convert.

That does seems to be the easiest solution for eBooks from NetGalley.

Swedish libraries have started using LCP in the name of "accessibility" and don't allow downloads of books anymore (even though it would be possible using LCP, see Thorium et al.). Their reading app/website is so basic as to make Kindle look super customizable.

Congrats! Now your books are so accessible that they're impossible to read.

(As we all know, being able to customize fonts or margins is inaccessible and EVIL!)

All DRM is bad and I really dislike these readium fellows in particular due to their hiding behind "open source" and "accessibility". "If we're not doing it, somebody even worse would be in charge!" Yeah, I'm not buying it.
I'm glad to see someone else sharing my troubles with Swedish libraries and their new app. Though I'd like to say it's not because of the libraries that this happened, it's due to the company providing the e-book solution being bought up and the new company deciding to remake the app. They've justified this by claiming that the new EU directive made them do this, but I think it's instead to make Swedish libraries dependent on their app and ecosystem.

As you say, their ebooks in their app is already protected by LCP, so why can't they also at least provide LCP-protected files for us to download and read on another reader outside of their really bad app? I'm quite frustrated over the situation.

I am new to NetGalley (since 2024), however this is the solution I am currently using to read on my Kobo's after they flipped the switch and went all-out LCP mode leaving user like me in the limbo. My kindle which I had pretty much retired, is back again being used as an intermediary for NetGalley eBooks.

All my reading is done on my Kobo's using KOReader.
On the plus side, after being forced to use this method, I no longer worry about the book expiring, those books are now permanently part of my Calibre library.

Wondering how you you got it working, Jadehawk. I send the book to my Kindle account from NetGalley, I can get the azw3 file imported into Calibre, but then Calibre stonewalls me by saying it can't convert the file to epub format. Any insight you can offer into how you got this method working?

Update to add that I got it figured out. Looks like you need the 2.4.0 version of Kindle for PC; later versions won't allow the resulting azw3 file to be converted to epub by Calibre.

And unfortunately, K4PC 2.4.0 will not download any ebook published on 2025-Apr-23 or later.

Do you have the Alpha version of DeDRM installed and properly configured? Do you have a Kindle? Are you using K4PC?

Russian sites are more likely to ignore DMCA takedown, so that's probably a reason. Check the source code to be safe though.

I took a quick pass through the code and nothing looked suspicious to me. OTOH, I am not near fluent in Python.

Edit: installed it in Calibre running in a VM, downloaded two books and both decrypted and imported into calibre. Nothing seems to have been written into non-standard locations. It was more fun adding the _init.diff file than anything else.

Russia and other non-Western countries are the only place such a thing can be posted, because otherwise Readium will threaten to sue.
