Hi, everyone. 👋
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? 🤷♂️
It’s been a while since I had to convert Kindle books, but the last time I did - Calibre was the way to go.
It’s a complete collection manager too so you can edit metadata, cover art, format and so much more.
It’s definitely intimidating when starting out, but well worth it.
Thank you. I have heard about Calibre before and got a bit spooked by the complexity of the process. 🤭
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.
I ducking hate today’s tech.
If Calibre is complex then just desist.

Super easy
Thanks. Would this work on Linux, too?
Not sure, don’t see why not. I’m not smart enough to use Linux
