For those with an old Kindle, couldn't you download it onto the Kindle and then pull it off of there via USB?

That sounds simple, but wouldn't the ebook you "pulled off" the Kindle still be in Amazon's format with DRM? I don't think this solves the original problem.

The first problem was to get the original file from somewhere in a usable format, then strip DRM in a later stage. Seems like step 1 was already made significantly harder now.

I tried to do this recently but discovered that the DRM algorithm changed and I couldn't use the standard de-DRM tools.

Thanks for the info!

are you using a relatively new kindle?
