Hi, technology freedom hivemind. Way back when, I downloaded my kindle library, so I was able to save my azw3 &amp; mobi files where Amazon can&#39;t disappear them, but... I didn&#39;t have the spoons at the time to deal with convert them to epubs, and I have no idea how to convert them now. If they can be. Can anyone point me at a NON-techie step-by-step? I have Calibre (pre-AI edition) , but I cannot make any of the plugins work for me. I guess can just keep reading in the app. 😢 (boosts welcome)

@kmherkes@wandering.shop I only had luck with older titles, particularly those from Tor and other publishers that were DRM free, and were still .mobi instead of azw3. Nothing Calibre offered worked for me, nor any other convert programs I found. Sorry for not much help.

@kmherkes@wandering.shop Calibre will do fine. Just right click the file and do the conversion. 😉

@kmherkes@wandering.shop so tired of all the bullshit. I buy a book. I own the book. How hard is it?
