From 26 February 2025, Amazon will stop you downloading your *own* Kindle eBooks. You will be forever stuck in Amazon’s grip.

 

If you’d like to escape, download all your Kindle ebooks now before it's too late:

Remove the DRM using Calibre:

Ideally, start using a service that supports local bookstores:

- Libro (audiobooks): https://libro.fm/

- Bookshop.org: https://bookshop.org/ebooks

 

Or if you prefer another option:

- Apple Books: https://www.apple.com/apple-books/

- Kobo: https://www.kobo.com/nz/en
