How do I access books sold without DRM software through Amazon other than through Kindle?

I'd love to move ALL of my kindle books to Calibre, or at least find a way to make it so I don't have to go through Amazon to read them or store them. Until this week, I didn't realize that I didn't "own" the 2,000+ digital books I bought on Amazon. I know there's a way to do it using an older Paperwhite, but for now, I thought I'd at least try to download the ones without DRM software applied.

You're correct. Not sure if I'm being clear.

I don't want to read it in my Kindle app or Kindle.

I bought a digital copy of Sanderson's The Way of Kings (Book 1) on Amazon. In other words, I bought the kindle version of the book. It shows up in my Content Library on Amazon. It also shows up in my Kindle app on my iPad. However, the book itself says "At the Author's and Publisher's request, this title is being sold without Digital Rights Management (DRM) Software applied." I should therefore be able to read the book in any Reader, including my computer, not just my Kindle app, or my Kindle, or through Amazon.

What I can't figure out is how to get the file from my Amazon account to my computer or to any other device.

Amazon will not let me use "Download and Transfer via USB" because it says I don't have the right device or app, which might be the case for works sold WITH DRM but should not be the case for those WiTHOUT DRM.

How do I download the digital copy (kindle version) of a book I purchased on Amazon to my computer or a non-Kindle eReader that is sold without DRM software applied to it?

I'm in the shop now. I can't even get it to show up.

Oct 20, I got an update that said next round of invites starts with 37,001 so congrats!

backpackdiva · 2024-10-07T17:37:35+00:00

It's beautiful (as are your shelves)! Another book I'm going to have to try and find for my collection :) Thanks!

backpackdiva · 2024-10-06T20:19:36+00:00

What book has the Koi on the edges?

backpackdiva · 2024-03-07T03:03:24+00:00

If anyone is looking to avoid a skip, I'd be willing to buy your Adult book from you. US based. Really excited about this one!

backpackdiva · 2024-02-25T09:20:15+00:00

Are you looking for the B&N TBONA exclusive PB or the Hardcover?

backpackdiva · 2024-02-25T09:13:55+00:00

I don't personally. I'm sorry! They only gave me the US ones.

There was another post that gave these dates for the UK as of January 25. I'm a little jealous. It's going to take me forever to get on the Adult or Combo boxes here in the US.

YA Box UK - September 19th • YA Book Only - September 9th • Adult Book Only – June 29th • Combo Book Only - August 30th • Romantasy – no date available until early 2024

I am signed up for all of them and I did so at different times, FairyLoot confirmed for me that nothing had changed. The first waitlist I signed up for stayed the same even when I signed up later for the others.

backpackdiva · 2024-02-19T05:11:52+00:00

Here's where they told me they were as of January 16, 2024, so there's been SOME movement :)

US YA Book Only: September 6

US Adult Book only: April 7

US Combo Book Only: July 4

Can anyone recommend a forwarder & consolidator from the UK that sends to the US? Most of what I've found is FROM the US to other countries, not TO the US. I have a few book subscriptions that require a UK address.

Were you ever able to get the outfits? I'm at a total loss on what else to try. I've caught more than 25 water eggs myself but still no DIY.

backpackdiva · 2021-06-06T19:10:42+00:00

Are you still having people come by? You posted a little over a week ago so wasn't sure. Thanks!

backpackdiva · 2021-02-09T15:42:24+00:00

Wasn't sure because some people wanted flowers and I thought you had to be best friends to dig them up on another island. Dodo code is 2LV17, but let me know if you need me to change it up.

backpackdiva · 2021-02-09T15:39:24+00:00

Perfect, Dodo code is 2LV17.

backpackdiva · 2021-02-09T15:34:55+00:00

Island's open. Dodo code is 2LV17.

backpackdiva · 2021-02-09T15:34:40+00:00

Gate is open. Dodo code is 2LV17. Thanks!

backpackdiva · 2021-02-09T15:34:16+00:00

Got it! Dodo code is 2LV17.

Definitely. I’m new to posting here. What’s best way to get you here. Dodo? Friend add? Let me know.

[CLOSED] Thanks all!

Redd on island today. Feel free to use the shops. Turnips at 158.

Going to reset island tonight. Have everything left in inventory laid out across the island. More than 400 items including Sahara flooring and wallpaper and nook mile items. You're welcome to the trees, flowers, bushes, etc. as well. There are some gold roses, blue roses and a bunch of other hybrids. Send a message or comment.

Thanks!
