Having the file is the first step in removing the DRM - you can set DeDRM up as a plugin in Calibre to strip DRM automatically when you add the AWZ3/KFX file to your library.
Some uh people I know are doing that, yeah. Wouldn’t that violate ToS though?
I’m sure even without direct downloads, there will be ways to pirate Amazon books. I mean last time I checked, Netflix didn’t let me download the video files but that doesn’t keep people from pirating the content.
Even if you don’t break the DRM, having the file is a guarantee that they con not modify the version of the book you payed for, or remove it from your library (both things had happened in the past).
Does this make a big difference? Even if you have the ability to download the books from the website, they are still DRM protected, no?
