Jules she/herOkay I have about 900 Kindle books that I've paid for. I've never dared try stripping the DRM off them in case Amazon somehow finds out and blocks my account, losing me the rest of them. But since Amazon's planning on deprecating my Kindle in May now I guess I have nothing to lose. What would everyone suggest? And can anyone recommend a good e ink reader to replace the Kindle that can read files from any source?
Also where do you buy ebooks from in the UK? I've had some luck with publisher websites directly but not all publishers seem to offer this
Pete Ashton@afewbugs This might come across as too much but unless the publisher offers a DRM-free ebook the best way I’ve found that fits what I need is to download a pirated copy from a shadow library (need a VPN as they’re mostly blocked in the UK) and buy a physical book for the shelf (or a gift).
Albert CardonaI second this: buy a paper book and gift it away, and download an electronic copy for yourself from wherever you can.
There are also several legit free ebook sites, like:
* https://openlibrary.org/ (by the internet archive)
* https://gutenberg.org
* https://onlinebooks.library.upenn.edu (lists 3 million free ebooks online)
There are others.
