Anyone have a good resource on how to DeDRM kfx Kindle books? For Linux desktops? Looks like the latest I could find required running a Windows only keygen to work (if it works). Trying to see if I can’t get something to work on Linux with Calibre before just downloading the books from the high seas.

Eh, I wouldn’t bother putting in the effort to de-DRM kindle books and just go straight to the high seas for a proper open copy.
As others have said it’s much easier to just go to Anna’s and grab an open copy. You can also check your library’s website (it will have DRM but is easier to remove).
I know this is the piracy community but when it comes to books I always check the author’s personal website first. Sometimes they sell copies with no/simple DRM and the money goes to them.
Jailbreak your kindle, then install KOreader and you can read any format. Its really simple and it takes half an hour at most.
I don’t think KOReader can read DRM protected files.
Wait. You’re on a piracy community. Who cares about DRM? There’s at least Anna’s Archive to download anything from.
Classy Hatter responded about DRM because OP’s question was about DRM-protected books.
Anna’s doesn’t have everything. That’s why I’d rather break the DRM of what I have.
I don’t have any kindle books to try it myself, but don’t people use the DeDRM plugin for Calibre for that?
The latest DeDRM uses a key from the installed version of the Kindle program, which is for Windows. I think you can use a key from the Android or Amazon tablet versions too, but I’ve never been able to get it to accept those keys
Ah, thats annoying.
Yeah I’d probably just grab a clean version somewhere myself. Or if its not available, an extremely short-lived VM just to get that key going.
