I just bought two kindle books that were only available as ebooks and I didn't realize that it has been made so difficult to download them. Everything I search comes up with "download them before Feb. 25th!"

Has anyone got a work around for this? I have no desire to use the kindle app to read them and I HATE that I don't own these books to do as I please.

I used calibre with the dedrm plugin to strip all my kindle ebooks from DRM and converted them to epub.

I then jailbroke my kindle and installed koreader on it, ditching amazon completely. I am not buying books from amazon anymore, but I get my books exclusively drm-free as epubs.

Calibre, combined with koreader on my device, allows me to sync my ebooks wirelessly over WiFi at home.

1+ for koreader, it's so much better than the stock Kindle reader.
