    Ayuuuup. Libgen, calibre, and Apple Books for me these days.

    I’ve bought around 1000 kindle books over the years, but that shit ended this year when I found out about this stuff. Spent a week stripping the drm from all my purchases (the ones Amazon didn’t burn up in the memory hole, anyway; bout a dozen of the books I paid for are no longer available for download), adding them to calibre, and backing the data up.

    Now I use the apple books app on my phone to read them. It’s not as convenient, but fuck Amazon.
