It's good that the limitations on ebooks are being more widely spread.
I suspect the author doesn't know that books bought from Kobo are only licensed for the purchaser, and no-one else. https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sh...45#post2766745 |

This was linked to in the Amazon removes books thread over three weeks ago and discussed. The vlogger's a dope.

She has more control now that she's removed the DRM.

Let's say you don't own a Kindle. You buy a Kindle PW6. So you have the PW6 and maybe the Kindle app on your phone and/or computer. Later on you buy a Kobo and want to read your purchased Kindle eBooks on your Kobo. How do you download your Kindle eBooks such that you can remove the DRM and convert to ePub to read on a Kobo?

I know there is the Android method. But is there any other method if you don't have a pre-2024 Kindle registered to your account? The Windows and Mac apps are getting updated such that they are not longer compatible with DeDRM. The PW6 no longer allows D&T. I'm thinking the other two don't as well.

But I'll stop buying ebooks at Amazon if they disable Download and Transfer for my Paperwhite 3, though I have the Kindle app on my phones and tablet. My TBR pile of PD books is about 5,000 anyway. Note Amazon claims on the web page when you buy an ebook "You own this" and eventually copyright expires. Also T&C are not always legally enforceable, or economically enforceable.
