Hi, everyone. 👋

I'd like to move a few of my books from Amazon kindle app to an open source reader before closing the Amazon account. Preferably, I'd like moving to a European -based servive.

Curious about what my options would be? What is the procedure like? 🤷‍♂️

You can use dedrm plugin in calibre to remove the DRM on your ebooks. You just need to download them on your computer, like using an old version of kindle.

If you want to buy more recent ebooks, as someone else said, the DRM cannot be removed now, so you should download them from kobo if you want to still be able to download and remove DRM.
