#kindle books that were paid for have now been exported and converted to a perennial format, thanks to
mastodon.ie/@robincafolla/1140 and hachyderm.io/@digichelle/11406

Now uploaded to new Kobo reader.

Remaining to do: jailbreak the Kindle so it doesn't become e-waste.

mastodon.ieRobin Cafolla (@robincafolla@mastodon.ie)This is a great guide to stripping DRM from your amazon books so you can use them on multiple devices going forward. Remember the deadline for downloading your amazon books is tomorrow; after that they're removing the option to download and transfer via USB; and who knows what devices they'll limit your access to your own books in future. https://itsfoss.com/calibre-remove-drm-kindle/ Also, stop buying books from Amazon #drm #endDRM

Come da titolo, mi consigliate case editrici che vendano i propri ebook liberi da DRM?
Io elencherò qui le poche che conosco già:
1) Spatterlight Press (jackvance.com/) Fondata dalla famiglia dello scrittore yankee Jack Vance per ristampare in digitale tutta la sua opera, che comprende fantasy, fantascienza e giallo; ce l'hanno circa fatta, mancano "solo" i quattro romanzi gialli che Vance scrisse su licenza altrui (e quindi i diritti sono un ginepraio).

I'm on the GOG mailing list - they alert you about deals and free game giveaways there. After I just redeemed a giveaway, they confirm what's in this image. I love it. Offline play. No DRM. Safeguards and rollbacks.

GOG has also been making promising steps for game preservation lately with their 'Preservation Program' for 'Good Old Games' that currently includes 92 games, and they're adding more (see yahoo.com/tech/gog-launches-pr).

GOG is doing things RIGHT.

GOG promises - play offline, no DRM, safety, rollbacks, refunds.

Pour rappel :

Amazon a supprimé 1984 sur les liseuses Kindle.

Microsoft a rendu illisible la totalité des livres vendus sur leur boutique quand celle-ci a fermé et a laissé sur le carreau la totalité de ses acheteurs.

Adobe a tenté par le passé de changer de système de DRM, cassant la compatibilité avec les liseuses et les livres déjà achetés.

Une connexion Internet active est requise sur la liseuse.

Toujours partisan de ce genre de saloperie ?

Non, ce n'est pas un mal nécessaire.
Non, ça n'empêche pas la diffusion du livre sur des sites non référencés par l'éditeur.
Non, les DRM ne sont pas vos amis.

Ça sert uniquement à emmerder la personne achetant les livres.

Pourquoi utiliser un format ouvert et documenté (un fichier epub, c'est en gros, juste un ensemble de pages html + css dans un fichier zip et quelques fichiers contenant les métadonnées, sommaire, …) si c'est pour le pourrir avec un solution Adobe.

Tellement habitué aux livres numériques sans DRM que j'avais oublié que JNC (US et EU/Nina) est en fait l'exception et non la règle.

Là, je voulais acheter un roman ; pas trouvable en fr ; donc site de l'éditeur US, qui propose la version papier ou la version numérique.

Sauf que l'éditeur en question ne propose pas l'achat direct. Faut passer par une boutique comme Amazon ou Rakuten Kobo.

Je regarde la seconde boutique, tarification en € ok. Mais je pense à descendre dans la page, jusqu'à lire :

EPUB 3 (Adobe DRM)

DRM. Le système de restrictions de droits.
Le truc qui a suffisamment pourri le jeu vidéo et la musique.

Fermeture de l'onglet. #NoDRM #FuckDRM !
