It was an old 1/2" tape drive. A lot faster and more reliable than the Tarbell interface to a cassette tape I had been using. Sorry but at this distance in time, I can't remember who actually made the drive. I picked it up at a bankruptcy auction along with a box of tapes and used it for about 6 years before it died. |

There is nothing easy about finding the particulars for removing drm from ebooks for free for the average person: here, there, or anywhere. Never has been; never will be. The endless comments section on a post on The DarkReverser's Blog has become the endless thread here at MobileRead, has become the endless commit log on three different github repositories. To suggest it's become "easy" is disingenuous. |

To be honest, I'm surprised how much the forum allows now -- years ago it feels like the topic was entirely taboo; people walk much closer to the line than they did 10+ years ago.

This thread makes me so happy that Kobo exists so I don't have to keep track of all the Amazon DRM drama.

I gave up on Kindle entirely, tbh. I see "Kindle Unlimited" on a Goodreads page and immediately click out. (Also, Goodreads is basically just an Amazon advertising platform at this point - why else would they have removed the Kobo Books links after being bought out?)

I haven't found that to be true. For me, I have to use the first kindle paper white I bought and long since have given it to my daughter. My new one didn't work. Now, perhaps it's supposed to and I just FUBAR'd it when I tried, but going back to the older kindle worked and who knows why I, the same person, got one working and the other not.

It could very well have been user error. Which is easy given the state of the documentation.
