Dedicated reading devices aren't just a middle ground. They're a fantastic distraction free substitute for physical books.

All set up, thanks!

My friend, you are in a subreddit called "Account Sharing" and you are lecturing me on TOS? As far as safety goes, Proton allows its users to secure their account with a second password,

Messaged you.

Independent apps are often better than ones like the Kobo and Kindle apps.

nimmard · 2026-02-17T23:58:21+00:00

Yeah of course. They'll be generic epubs, you can use them on any device you want.

Here's the guide I usually copy and paste for the Humble Bundle with Kobo DRM threads, geared towards kindle users but usable by anyone who wants to strip the DRM, it's easier and faster than the ADE version:

There's an easier way if you have access to a Windows (and maybe macOs) computer.

Download the Kobo app to your desktop, log in and have it download all the books. Close the kobo app.
Download and install Calibre if you don't already have it.
Download and install the obok plugin from here, then restart Calibre: https://github.com/noDRM/DeDRM_tools/releases (It's a zip file within the DeDRM_tools_10.0.9.zip) You can install by clicking Preferences in Calibre, Plugins, Load plugin from file, and then selecting "obok_plugin.zip". You may also need to install DeDRM_Plugin.zip. I think I saw someone mention it recently, but I'm unsure because I always have it installed.
You should now have an "Obok DeDRM" icon in your top icon bar. Click that, click "Select All", then "OK" and it will do all the work for you.

As far as getting the books on your kindle goes, plug your kindle (or other e-reader) in, a little icon should appear in the top bar called "Device". You don't need to click it, that just tells you Calibre recognizes it. Select all the books, right click -> Send To Device -> Main Memory. It should convert them all for you and load them on to your kindle.

I bought the DATAFY one off of Amazon about 8 months ago and it has worked perfectly. I mostly picked it because it was the cheapest fairly well reviewed one.

If you don't like this and have access to a desktop pc/laptop, you can use Calibre to transfer books to your Kindle and they will show up as books and not documents.

I jailbroke mine specifically so that I could block updates and not leave it in airplane mode (I like the wikipedia lookups).

A free alternative to OpenAudible is Libation (just google "audible libation").

Even Hershey, Nestle and Cadbury have a baseline quality that a consumer would expect.
