The DRM removal tool to remove DRM from ebooks was taken down from github and will most likely be taken down from gitlab soon as well. The more archives we have the better so im sharing the gitlab in hopes some Datahoarder types will archive it and keep it shared via torrents etc https://gitlab.com/bipinkrish/DeGourou

Heres an article about why it was taken down https://torrentfreak.com/internet-archive-targets-book-drm-removal-tool-with-dmca-takedown-230714/

Edit: does anyone here use https://radicle.xyz/ ? Its a p2p network built on top of git and could be a good way to host it while still being able to contribute to it besides making a .torrent for archiving

Is there a working drm removal tool for kindle books?

[–] nix@merv.news 27 points 1 year ago (7 children)

I haven't been able to get that to work for sometime, and you need a damn kindle ereader in the first place.

I've stopped buying my books from Amazon and am looking for somewhere else to purchase them.

Mine still works. I use the kindle for pc app, but it's an old version. I think Amazon blocked it on newer versions.

Yep, that's the issue. My old Voyage isn't connect to my account anymore, so I can't even use that method anymore. 😥

I kept a copy of the kindle installer that works. I can't live without my de-drm.
