No, you could never buy books on Amazon, only rent them. Calibre with DeDRM plugin was a poor way to liberate them, given that formatting in libre formats was often worse than the original.

I stopped doing that and ingnored the Kindle ecosystem in general. I tried a Kobe reader with .epub books from diverse sources but I mostly use tablets (LineageOS and GrapheneOS) to consume content these days. The reader apps are not that great there, sadly.

    I'd be pretty surprised if you couldn't waydroid something decent without googleing up. Certainly moon reader or something should run without the store?

    I'm limiting myself to only open source applications on the tablets. Strictly nothing from Play Store or Aurora.
