Moving away from Kindle (lemmy.today)

I've been using the Kindle ebook reader for over a decade now, and I've accumulated quite a big digital library from Amazon. However, now I'd like to move away to another ebook reader, preferably Kobo, but I don't want to leave my Kindle ebooks behind. I'd like to bring them with me.

Does anyone have any advices or tools that they can recommend that will allow me to move my Kindle ebooks over to Kobo or some other ebook reader (e.g. Nook)?

P.S. Sorry if this post has nothing to do with this community. Out of all the communities I follow, this one seemed to be the most appropriate for such a question.

I picked up an Onyx Boox recently (specifically the Note Air 3C, which is a color e-ink tablet rather than just e-reader) and since it has the Google Play Store, I was able to just install the Kindle app. The Boox Page ($250) and Boox Poke5 ($170) make up their traditional sized e-reader lineup, and both appear to support the same thing. You could also install the Kobo Books app and make future purchases there, as well as library apps like Libby and Hoopla.
