You can get Calibre for free and convert it there.



Kindle ebooks have DRM and require you to buy them from Amazon. Some people prefer to avoid both when paying for books.


I have my Calibre folder backed up with BT Sync and unDRM my kindle books there, so I can open them on anything with BT Sync installed.

I always buy with Kindle and convert with Calibre then read in iBooks. It'd be nice not to have to do that.


Criminal offence if you're stripping the DRM in the process of format shifting.


On the other hand, Calibre is FLOSS and doesn't contact any servers, so there's not much they can do to enforce it.
