@KaraLG84 Oh yes, I forgot about hive, I've used them as well

@douginamug @afewbugs Yep, you need ADE to open the .acsm file, then Calibre + DeDRM to access the .epub and transfer to your Kindle. (For Linux, installing Windows ADE under Wine also works.) And if stronger .epub encryption becomes the norm (it's apparently being rolled out), I can imagine "buy a legit copy [so the author gets paid] then download off AA" may be my next recourse

@afewbugs ebooks.com or kobo.com (I prefer ebooks.com as they score more highly on ethical grounds apparently, but Kobo has a wider range). You still [usually] need to break encryption to transfer to a Kindle, though – or buy a Kobo reader

@afewbugs Calibre + DeDRM + instructions found online worked for me^w um this person I overheard at the bus stop (with zero retaliation from Amazon: how would they know?)

@mcc no no no, *I* have the *correct* YouTube FYP

@Tarnport ye gods
