I stumbled across this today. Is it still being updated? Github suggests it's still active but the latest release in IzzyOnDroid seems to be from 2022.

Heliboard. Unfortunately it requires a bit too much setup to recommend to anyone who isn't tech savvy.
Oh wow I can't wait to strap a hallucination machine to my face
Soulseek. I'll search a band I like, then browse the directories of other people with similar taste.
I don't know how to feel about this.
Timing and length of ads won't be consistent between users so this approach doesn't work.
Using a different client won't help if the ads are injected directly into the video stream.
I'm pretty sure I tried the desktop app method at some point. Didn't work at all for me but I can't recall why.
Oh it's an absolute slog for sure. And I can't even guarantee it still works. I wouldn't have even tried if I didn't happen to chance upon a suitable device. Definitely wouldn't recommend paying eBay prices for one just to do this.
I've done this successfully, but you need to jump thru quite a few hoops. These instructions are for Kindle only. I think dedrm can cope with Nook encryption but I don't know how to do it. It was a while ago now, but to the best of my recollection:
- Get yourself an older model Kindle. I used a Kindle 3 that I found at Goodwill for $20. You may have to rejig your home WiFi if your model doesn't support the right version of WPA.
- Register it to your Amazon account somehow. IIRC, you have to try and fail to do it from the device, then Amazon will email you instructions.
- Install Calibre and setup the dedrm plugin. It's pretty well documented.
- Download what you want onto the Kindle. Pretty sure you have to use the Amazon website for this because of SSL issues on the older models.
- Setup your Kindle with Calibre. This is also pretty easy and and well documented.
- Grab the DRMed books off the Kindle into Calibre.
- Run the conversion process in Calibre to remove DRM and convert to (for example) epub.
- Optional: Jailbreak your Kindle and install KOReader to get a bit more value out of the obsolete brick you had to purchase to do this. This is a whole other set of hoops.
I'm not totally sure all this still works. You're honestly probably better off getting a Boox device and downloading stuff from Anna's Archive or similar.
