Buy elsewhere, or simple look up epubs and mail them to kindle
Where do others buy epubs? (Besides the library) In many cases my obscure authors only use Amazon.
I've used Kobo and Ebooks.com, and import into my Calibre library. I know some authors have a way to purchase directly on their site.
I also use Kobo. It's really easy to download on Kobo (then remove DRM if that's your vibe).
How is that legal?
Because in the kindle store you're not purchasing the book but a license to the book.

Good luck accessing my ebooks.
Get them out of Amazon:

It works, I just exported alk my ebooks into epub earlier today.
I have hundreds of books in my kindle. But 0 on Amazon.
First, you will need DeDRM v10.0.9 beta/RC or the alpha release. This will work on many (but not all) Kindle ebooks. (Some Kindle books come with extra-strength encryption that these tools cannot handle, etc.) If you have questions about installing, setting up, or using DeDRM, ask on GitHub.
"many but not all" hm.
I had some issues at first then decided to actually RTFM and once i entered my kindle serial number into the plugin, worked perfectly.
FWIW, I did not have a single book with DRM issues. That being said, I don't have too many "hot bestsellers" or something similar.
No it isn't 🐭
Oh, they are, are they?
