Extracted all my audiobooks from Audible and de-DRMed them in about 10 minutes this afternoon. Now I have all the digital book material I ever bought from Amazon in formats I can control.

If this interests you, Calibre and Libation are your go-to projects.

@trib I tried a lot to "free" my ebooks from the Kindle, unfortunately with no success. I could save only some. Calibre didn't de-DRM ...

@NatureMC @trib I am also stuck with some books on Amazon that I wasn't able to liberate.

@bodhipaksa @NatureMC de-DRM with Calibre can be a bit laborious, but you should be able to get them all to work.

@trib @NatureMC It's downloading the Kindle books that's been tricky.

@bodhipaksa @NatureMC yes. I connected the Kindle as a USB drive and then pulled them from there to a folder on my desktop. Processed them from there.
