I'm back from open heart surgery and....

When last I was here, it was April and my Kindle Paperwhite was scheduled for deregistration. Since I was about to get my chest cracked open, I decided I would wait to deal with it until I was up and running around again.

Has anyone developed the fix for the Kindle? Has the evil empire won?

I can go through Rakuten Kobo, but it's just annoying the heck out of me.

Exactly what do you mean by fix? Do you want to remove DRM from your purchased Kindle books? There is a way to do that with the new Windows app. Or do you want to download your books to your old, nonsupported Kindle and read them there? That's no longer possible - you'd have to remove the DRM and sideload them.
