If you can get it onto a kindle you can then plug the kindle into a computer and use Calibre to remove any DRM and transfer it onto the Kobo.
If you've bought any other books on Amazon I highly recommend to do all the books in a batch and getting them all out while you can.
I don't have a kindle, I think I just read it on my phone before
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.
According to the terms, when you purchase a Kindle e-book, you are buying a license to access the content rather than owning the book outright. And the only reason they made it explicit is CA law AB 2426. So you can “access” it on any device that can display their content, be it an app or hardware device, but you can’t possess it via a download for example. (I find this all to be bullshit, I’m just stating Amazon’s position on the topic)
This is a big part of why I have a kobo, the files are easy to scrub of the DRM but I’m still getting an easy way to throw money at creators I value.
How do you like your kobo?
Cool, cheap, open(er), shit security 🙄😅, fine as an ink reader nothing else. People say use w calibre for notes and highlighted extraction, but I've not tried that yet
