Trying to download/export, and convert 1000ish kindle books to get out of amzns ecosystem (sh.itjust.works)

Does anyone have any experience with doing this? It's not for myself, but for someone who isn't tech inclined. I want to set him up with FOSS to avoid future shitification by azn. I know I need to strip drm, and then convert out of amz formats, but really have no idea how to do this. Any help would be appreciated! -j

Sounds like me. I like supporting B&N, but I feel like their reader is an afterthought and it's always frozen or laggy. Are you ahem acquiring your books as well? I do like being connected to a store for easy access.

I aquire 50/50. I do buy from thier store and use calibre and calibreweb for the other "store" calibre web has pretty good support but you do have to do a very easy config update to sync over wifi. But i basically add to a shelf in calibre web and that syncs to the reader. it just works
