Which is why wary bibliophiles make a backup copy of the epubs without DRM.
Which seems to require Windoze? I haven't found a way to download the ebooks that I "purchased" on Amazon to my Linux machine.
No, Calibre can do that DRM-stuff very well: https://linuxconfig.org/calibre-drm-removal-for-ebooks-on-linux
How, exactly? That article says: "Try it out. Find an ebook that has DRM. Click on the "Add Book" button in Calibre and browse to your book. Import it. You should be able to open up your newly imported book in the Calibre viewer." But that doesn't answer the question. The word "browse" there doesn't mean the usual thing of roam the Internet; it simply means scan the filesystem of your computer. And the question (with implied negative answer) was how to DOWNLOAD an ebook from a source - Amazon so presumably kindle, but I find it's the same with epubs as well - to your Linux computer. That's the part that Leslie and I and everybody else are finding difficult.
Hence your local laws of course.
