How can I move a book I purchased a couple years ago from Amazon to my Kobo Clara. I absolutely refuse to pay for it a second time. I checked Anna's and it's not listed. I should check again though. Is their a way to rip it from Amazon? Also fuck Amazon.

Is their drm embedded with my personal information? I.e. if I get a copy of the drm book and do a shit job on Calibre, then upload to Anna's, am I personally liable?

Do you have access to an old kindle device? That makes it pretty easy with Calibre and the noDRM plugin.

It was easier when you could download it to your computer, but Amazon disabled that last year because so many people were removing the DRM.

So if it's not sitting on a kindle, I have zero access to the file? What did I pay for then

Nothing. That's the trick people are slowly starting to become aware of.
