I'm an owner of a Kobo, how did you do that?

When I tried, the only options from Amazon were 'transfer to my device' and that only works if you have a Kindle. There was 0 way to just download the stupid file and let me copy it myself.

When I said "bypass", I meant I ditched my kindle for a kobo and stopped buying books on amazon entirely.

There is a library built into the kobo you can purchase from, which I do for newer books. However, I've been on a classics kick and I pirate them tbh. Dumas doesn't mind.

I hadn't given the online library much of any thought. I kind of assumed it would not have access to anything I wanted. I decided to take a look, and lo-and-behold, it has pretty much everything I've wanted to read recently. The prices are pretty good, it's like $9 for some and a few on sale for $2 which is a steal.

That's good to know, thanks!
