       I am aware that calibre has some drm removal tools but those don't all work on on Linux. You need a specific version of a cert that's only installed with a certain version of Amazon reader for windows. I tried pretty hard to make it work

       @voidspace I dont recall now as it was last year that I was trying to make it work. I was trying the main ones you find when you search the internet about it.Looks like I may need to circle back around and try it. Looks like there have been some updates since then.Have you made it work on Linux? Are you able to de-drm amazon and kobo (adobe drm?)?

       This really really annoys me. Look. I pay for the books. Authors deserve to be paid and I *want* to pay them. I just reallllly hate to be locked into a book publishing ecosystem. I want to buy a book then read it on whatever device I damn well please. I don't want to be required to have a kobo or amazon account or sign into my ereader with an account. I want to download the book I paid for, transfer it to my device with a cable and then read it. My ereader should be publisher agnostic. 😡

       Project Hail Mary is a great book but it has DRM. I paid the full retail price from kobo then downloaded it from z-library.org so I can have it in my library without drm.

       I remember when Amazon was the disruptor and it allowed small authors to self publish. William C Dietz is an author I follow and he self publishes on Amazon. Now Amazon is evil because I was just looking at his books on Amazon and it doesn't even seem possible to get the book in digital format without being subscribed to Amazon Unlimited. I hate this timeline.
