Refer to those links if you need more information.Īfter buying an ebook on Amazon, you can download it in a specific Amazon format with DRMs, but only when you have a device linked to your Amazon account and that device is deemed “eligible” to download and manual transfer via USB, like a Kindle e-reader. I’ve gathered information from multiple sources. My goal was simple: try to get the ebook in the epub or pdf format, so I can read it with the apps I want to use, the way I like to read them. I can’t even get a proper ebook file itself easily. What if I have a device that’s not compatible, or what if they stop supporting the device I’m using? Why should I have to use their app when I already have one that contains all my books, with all the features I like and I’m used to? That’s the kind of freedom I don’t really like to give away when buying things, even when they aren’t materialized. They did a good job of providing all those apps for reading the book, but to me it’s still an annoyance.
So I started googling around, to try and get out of that DRM prison.Īmazon provides a Kindle app, available on PC, Mac, Android, iOS and even web. I purchased a book from Amazon and wasn’t able to use it in my book reading app. One of those things is DRM, that’s supposed to control how you use the product, and stop you from using it in a way that was not approved by the seller. I hate when manufacturers or sellers voluntarily add things in your way to stop you from doing what you want. I’m one of those people that like doing whatever they want with the things they buy.
