    This might not be a very pirate thing to do but I cancelled my Kindle Unlimited when I found out I could get all of them, for free, delivered to my Kindle app, from my city’s library via Libby. Books, graphic novels, audiobooks, manga, and more, just there for the taking.

      I moved from a major metro area to middle of forking nowhere several years ago. I kept my library cards from the metro area, which still work for Libby ebook and magazine downloads, while the local rural library is tied into a regional system for the occasional dead tree book.

        Me too. I am using my library card from Austin even though I moved to Wyoming.

    Kindle 7th Gen is capable of the KFX format, it’s likely to have received an update recently because the KFX format has a new and so far unbreakable DRM. The NoDRM team appears to want nothing to do with it. Kindle Unlimited books are generally served in the latest formats because they monitor how much of the book you read and pay the author per page.

    If the books are already downloaded and are in AZW, PRC, or Mobi format it’s likely, but not guaranteed, possible with NoDRM/DeDRM_tools plugin on GitHub.

      Amazon plugged all the loopholes.

      The only way to do it now is to have an older Kindle device attached to your account, you can go into “Content & Devices” and you have the option to transfer to your Kindle via usb. Which will give you an azw3 file that you can use with DeDRM. But you can’t do it with KU which will only be served in KFX format.

      The KFX team have infiltrated the groups who come up with vulnerabilities to allow DRM removal of kfx to then patch those issues before they can hit the general public. They’ve done it repeatedly so far so that’s why they’ve given up on DRM removal of kfx.
