Yeah, thanks, but that's not going to work.  I've been steadily removing  
myself from Amazon over the last few weeks. Cancelled my prime membership,  
stopped buying from them, sold my stock, downloaded my music, and my books.   
The music works, but I'm going to convert it to ogg.  I had 113 books, which  
I probably spent over $1,000 for!  Aw well, they'll go in a thumb drive and  
wait until someone figures out how to convert them.  I was definitely  
swindled, but now I am free at last!


Down with Amazon!!

Thank you for the suggestion.  I tried Calibre and also Fbreader and both  
show me that they contain DRM (a.k.a. the devil :)

You're welcome :)

I found this:  
https://www.reddit.com/r/Ubuntu/comments/2ffbl7/how_do_i_get_the_drm_off_of_my_kindle_books_via/


I can't find the license of the DeDRM plugin though, so better proceed with  
caution.

Looks like these are files eaten by Amazon Swindle. You might try opening  
them as mobipocket, according to

Maybe Calibre can handle it.

Does anybody know if there is any free software to read .azw and .azw3 files,  
or any software to convert them to a free format?
