Folks who break the DRM on their books, this is going to make that a lot harder: nsinteger.com/@zacwest/1139915

This is fine for those of us who don't buy from Amazon anymore, but if you have a standing library with them, make sure you get it all downloaded so you can break it. It's frustrating because you can't bulk download - I keep finding titles I own but missed grabbing somehow - but you have until Feb 26th to get them all.

Starting February 26, 2025, the "Download & Transfer via USB" option will no longer be available. You can still send Kindle books to your Wi-Fi enabled devices by selecting the "Deliver or Remove from Device" option. Learn more about managing downloads
NSIntegerZac West (@zacwest@nsinteger.com)Attached: 1 image Amazon is removing the ability to download purchased Kindle content, which is the only way to read it on my Kobo or elsewhere. What this means is I will no longer be purchasing (“a license to”–ick) any books by the mostly independent authors who exclusively publish there; just cancelled preorders.

(2/2) Also here's a great guide to breaking that DRM of your Kindle books! (See post before this on why you should do it now rather than wait)

@hollie thanks for the heads up! I started downloading my books recently but it’s such a hassle! On purpose of course. Will prioritize this now.

@kimu Yeah, I assume they make it a hassle on purpose. Well, alternatives are getting better all the time so I'm hoping this will mean more and more people say goodbye to them!

@hollie @kimu Honestly, if I can’t back up my collection on my own, I’ll probably just end up looking for copies where someone else did it for me. #piracy
