Documentation on book delivery mechanism ?
Hi all,
In light of recent difficulties with removing KFX encryption and download/transfer by USB becoming more restrictive and potentially disappearing altogether, I have brought my old Paperwhite 1 out of retirement as books delivered to it are guaranteed to be non-KFX and thus can be backed up with the DRM removed. This made me wonder, has someone already looked into and documented how the OTA content delivery mechanism works ? I would be interested in hacking together a way to spoof the PW1 to have azw3 content delivered directly to a computer in a way that doesn't rely on the continued health of my nearly 11 year old Kindle. Cheers, |

Nvm the B&W images thing is exactly the issue with azw6 merging. I only read novels on the Kindle so color covers and images aren't exactly a huge deal. I might even look into the code for the azw6 plugin myself. Would be a good reason to de-rust my Python skills.

As for spoofing the communication between PW1 and Amazon, you are very much on your own. The recent changes made by Amazon are most likely due to automated (mass) downloads from KU for pirate sites. The best you can hope for is maybe the AZW6 plugin for calibre to be made compatible to grabbing the book and images together. They would still be in b/w regardless. |
