Do you know if that kindle device also downloads the apnx file with the KF8 file? (I've been downloading the KF8 versions of books because they have the apnx file with it, so I can import them together to a kindle and the real page numbers appear as well, and pretty accurately match the physical book page numbers in most cases).

It's working for me, but I am afraid it will be taken down if it becomes too popular. Would really suck |

I think, Amazon might/should be already aware of it, and it is not like changing algo is difficult... (releasing new version and blocking old one might take a bit, though) So if people don't use it it is kind of a waste. (they'll just fix it in a few months) On the other hand, I can totally see how increased visibility could make them prioritize the change more... So it is kind of a balance. I'll keep my activity to this thread and github, I guess, and will keep it down. Not much loss since it was already mentioned there.

Added: I can see why NoDRM has chosen to not release an updated version of the plugin. In the past Amazon has reacted to that by switching to a different algorithm already in place. However if Sats really has worked around all of the existing algorithms then an opportunity to have that be available in the time it takes Amazon to develop and release new software is being wasted.

i found a loophole for anyone needing to format shift their borrowed amazon books...
while sorting out my install of kindle for pc 1.17, i tried looking for books i had out on prime reading. i expected it to not find or display them but I was wrong. a search for a title works. and so they can be downloaded in the PC app as azw, just ike my owned books. (its likely that this works for KU books also, but I don't have a current subscription to test with.) i tested with 3 other new test loans, just in case it was a fluke result for 1 book. . all worked |
