title_body: Changing my eBook reader. Any way to take my kindle books with me? I am changing from Kindle for reading eBooks onto a different eReader platform. I've purchased a couple of eBooks for Kindle on the Amazon platform but those books I didn't start reading yet. Additionally there are some Amazon/Kindle books I've purchased that I would like to read again and therefor be on my new eReader as well.
  I had a hard time finding relevant information, I guess because it's not possible or damn hard (for obvious reasons I understand why Amazon doesn't want that to be easy).
  So is this a hopeless endeavour?
upvoted_answer: It depends if the books have DRM (Digital Rights Management) or not.
  If they do then you can only read them on Amazon devices or with a Kindle app on PCs Macs Android or ios.
  If not DRM then download them to a computer using the transfer by USB option on the &quot;manage your contents and devices&quot; page on Amazon on the Web.
  Then you need to convert your books to a different format usually. .epub  The usual way is to use the program calibre. https://calibre-ebook.com. Some calibre plugins might be able to import the books from where the kindle app stores the books on a computer, look at kfx importer
