And why the fuck do I need to manage my ebooks on 3 separate devices, and using 2 different apps on my computer?

Fuck Kindle. I should have at least went with Kobo.

Fuck this unhinged consumerism bullshit in general. I just wanna steal my books and read them at my leisure, but have to find shit ass work arounds for DRM for fucking words. DRM FOR WORDS!!!

Burn this whole fucking piece of shit to the ground. Death to Amerikkka.

I actually stumbled upon DeDRM after trying to figure out why some epubs won't send. I tried it out but am confuesd on if I need my serial number if I am not sending directly via USB, but am using sendtokindle. I was gonna work more on that but the epub/mobi/epub trick worked for 2 books so far so I can deal with that for now.

Gonna read through this thread later tho. I had just assumed that sendtokindle wasn't using asw3 anymore so never considered sideloading would work. Thanks for the share. :)

the people on that forum are deeply serious.

make sure you are using the most up to date DeDRM repo. the one I linked isn't the original most people link to, it's newer. But IIRC you need to go into the original to get some of the instructions. there might even be something newer available. you will likely find it in the fourm if so

it is more of a curve that it needs to be but at least you are making progress not wasting your time because you can then keep/share everything you salvage

I grabbed the 10.x fork that the new dev took over.

I'll for sure try and look into getting it up and running. I have it installed but need to figure out if I need my serial and how to find it.
