Hi, everyone. ๐Ÿ‘‹

I'd like to move a few of my books from Amazon kindle app to an open source reader before closing the Amazon account. Preferably, I'd like moving to a European -based servive.

Curious about what my options would be? What is the procedure like? ๐Ÿคทโ€โ™‚๏ธ

Thank you. I have heard about Calibre before and got a bit spooked by the complexity of the process. ๐Ÿคญ

    If you want to make it easy, just go to libgen.li, download the books without DRM and it's off to the races....

    Likely illegal (depending on where the post author lives).

    I live in the EU country and would prefer a legal way to save my purchased books.

    These days you could also fire up the book in the kindle app and tell an AI to OCR each page, saving the result in ePub format.
