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? 🤷‍♂️

I live in the EU country and would prefer a legal way to save my purchased books.

Did you purchase a book or a license?

These days you could also fire up the book in the kindle app and tell an AI to OCR each page, saving the result in ePub format.

I wonder if we could jailbreak Amazon's shitty ai to do it. If they gave us the text themselves then it's not piracy. What a revelation!
