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.

@hollie How can we download our library to a laptop? I'm looking at the Amazon website but there's no option to download that I see. I don't have room on my phone for all my books

@3x10to8mps @hollie Click on your Digital Orders under Orders and Returns. Then click Manage Content and Devices next to the book you want. There will be a drop-down menu More Actions.

Click that menu, then you can select Download and transfer via USB which will let you save the file to your laptop's hard drive (or anywhere else you want).

@analogfusion The "download and transfer via USB" only tells me "You do not have any compatible devices registered for this content. Buy a Kindle or get the free Kindle reading app." even though I have the Kindle app on my phone and my PC. I don't seem to be able to download locally. 🤔

@analogfusion @hollie @blue The same is true for me. I can't download out of either Kindle on iphone or PC and get the same message from Manage Your Content.

Also there is no help topic on Download and Tranfer vis USB

@3x10to8mps @analogfusion @blue Oh yeah I think you have to own a registered Kindle device, that’s the purpose of the download, it’s to side load them to Kindle devices that may not have WiFi or may have it turned off for some reason.

@blue @hollie @analogfusion Ok I reinstalled the Kindle app on PC and was able to download my content to a default My Kindle Content folder within my Documents folder. Not via Transfer Using USB

All my purchased books are EBOK.azw, the proprietary Amazon KFX format. I installed the KFX Input plugin.

I can't convert due to DRM

Apparently I need to find and install Kindle for PC v 1.24 or older. I can't find it. I'm going to have to rebuy everything 🤬
