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 If you add all of the books to a collection, you should be able to download the collection as a whole using the Kindle desktop app.

@djtoebeans This doesn't work for me? There's no way to bulk add all the books to a collection that I can find, and in the Digital Content section, there's no way to download a collection.

@hollie I was able to select like 25 titles at a time on the website to add them to my collection and then right-click the collection in the Windows app to download everything in it. Still kind of a pain, but easier than downloading one at a time.

@djtoebeans Ahhhh, okay, it's because I'm using a Mac. You can't select more than one in the iMac Kindle app.
