Trying to download/export, and convert 1000ish kindle books to get out of amzns ecosystem
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

I went down that rabbit hole and really had no options that were satisfactory. I average almost a book every 10 days so it needs to just work. I got a kobo libra and love it. Supports all my formats and i sync over wifi with calibre-web
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
