Starting Feb. 26, 2025, Amazon is no longer allowing Kindle book downloads to your computer. Here's how to get ahead of it, and download your Kindle library.

Feb. 26 is the deadline to download e-books from your Kindle library. After then, you'll have to use Amazon's "send to Kindle" feature to send books over Wi-Fi.

Eliminating DRM effectively removes Amazon's control over what you do with your e-books. If Amazon were to go DRM-free, you'd be able read Kindle e-books on any e-book reader or app that you like.
