| Not sure if you’re joking but is it possible to even do that? I understand some books are kept on their cloud servers and only some get downloaded. |

| Yes, it’s possible. Note: no downloads work in airplane mode. Cable works just as well though. |

| I had an old kindle that I never connected to the net or with an amazon account. I loaded books by USB. Damn near impossible to find DRM free books to purchase though. |

And then, there are other creative ways to download the ebook... (without buying from Amazon, or other monopolists.) | |
| ▲ | cbdevidal 9 hours ago | parent | prev [-] | | It is still possible to remove DRM and export to PDF or epub. Not point-and-click easy, though. https://www.reddit.com/r/Calibre/comments/1q1uza4/successful... | | |
| ▲ | nosioptar 9 hours ago | parent [-] | | While Calibre makes it easy, it's even easier to just download a copy someone else has already stripped of DRM. If publishers/authors want my money, they can release a version without DRM. | | |

| No, you choose what is downloaded locally. You can also get .mobi files and copy them to the kindle directly. |
