  Yea Audible too. I can’t remember the name of the tool but you can connect to your account and it pulls all your purchases locally DRM free. It was handy for setting up Audiobookshelf

    Libation (add audible to your search to find it)

      Just tried out Libation for the first time this week, very happy so far. Further testing of results is still required, but this was an excellent suggestion.

    Thanks for the reminder! I’ve gotten a bunch of free audible books and haven’t backed them up in a while.

  That’s true for the older Kindle format but not the newer one.

    Not entirely correct. If you own a legitimate copy of the book on your Kindle you can strip the DRM even on the newest version.

    If you acquired the file through illegitimate means and it still has the DRM on it, then the newest DRM is indeed not possible to remove yet

      I’m pretty sure it’s less that you can crack the DRM on the newer format and more that you can get amazon to send you a version that’s compatible with older devices (which uses the older DRM).
