DRM workaround: Kindle for Android

[Patitapetit]

What happen with the Kindle Key in the Android App if I've got another in Calibre?

You can have multiple keys stored in DeDRM, just give them unique names.

You are still using a non default size for your font. Unless you need to make something bigger or smaller, try to not touch the "Sizes" selection when posting a reply.

As far as your library comment and the author not getting paid, that doesn't sound right, at least in the U.S. and U.K.

For KU author is paid per page read. Can't track that if it's taken out of the Kindle ecosystem.

No, I meant only KU doesn't get paid. With the library books (from real libraries) the issue is you don't own it, so shouldn't remove DRM or format shift, which also might result in "forgetting" to delete it when borrow expires.

Unlike Amazon and Open Library, USA, UK and Ireland have to buy ebook licences for the number of simultaneous loans, then in UK and Ireland the actual "borrow" triggers and additional royalty of about 30 pence. Authors/publishers still get paid even if real library users do pirate/steal a copy. If you want to format shift or remove DRM, then buy your own copy.

The Open Library doesn't pay anything to copyright holders, or didn't last time I checked.

Scribd is a sort of library system I don't quite understand, but they actually buy ebooks, unlike Amazon who doesn't pay anything to make the ebooks available for loan, which is why they have their mad system of monitoring your app or Kindle.

As has been proposed/asked in another thread, you could strip the DRM A
and read it on a non-Amazon app/device, and then use a Amazon app/device to simulate reading it.

And as Quoth had posted, he mis-spoke about libraries and authors not getting paid.

And if you believe that more that 1 or 2 people in the world would do so, I have a bridge you might like to buy.

Pie works as well. The Android 11 might not work because it is still in beta, who knows.

I've got a nice bridge here too!

I would suggest that you stop using any size and accept the default size.

I've got an Android Debug Bridge.

(Although, for me, all the text in Patitapetit's posts is default size, but is huge in the posts of others quoting Patitapetit.)
