In which case, the existing work-arounds to get KF8 format should still work. It may be that Amazon will update Kindle for PC/Mac very quickly. How long this code will work is anyone’s guess.

Nice to see that Github which has more to lose feels safe enough hosting such tools. I have barely been here a year but it wasn't too long after I joined when I saw someone censored for mentioning the name of a DRM removal tool. While DRM removal may be discussed in the abstract, the following are not allowed at MobileRead:ĭiscussing DRM removal to pirate content ĭirect download links to DRM-removal tools.įurther information on our policy on copyright, uploads and DRM can be found here. Looking at the MobileRead FAQs check section 8 of the Posting Guidelines' Talk about taking a sledgehammer to swat a mosquito - who knew that a judge could decide copying a program from your hard drive to RAM constituted making a second unauthorized copy. Evidently some of the software companies were not happy with such discussions and invoked the DMCA. That happened years back to one forum I used to lurk in when some of the discussions went overboard in discussing circumventing software that was locked by such means as a physical dongle (or 'how to Unlock HardLock'), needing a CD in the drive with a sideline in damaged CDs so a copy without the damage wouldn't work, etc. You have to walk that line between free discussion and having MobileRead beset by lawyers. Personally, I feel whiplash when I see someone chastised and the more open and liberal we can be with our rules the better.
