I think with applications, like Calibre its relatively painless to save the whole library, if someone is ready to jump ship. Now its the perfect time.
I personally use a Kobo without the online features, which is fantastic, but there are many great Kindle alternatives without the corporate spyware bullshit.
Calibre (Kindle) and Libation (Audible) are essential backup tools.
Y'know, in case their servers are down...
Sadly, Calibre doesn't handle .kfx at this time.
It absolutely does. https://plugins.calibre-ebook.com/ there is a KFX input plugin. Also, if using an older version of kindle for PC you can batch download your whole library and import to Calibre.
Yep, I did it earlier today. Took about half an hour to set up, download and convert 75 books and comics
There’s a plugin, and easy tutorials to follow online. It absolutely handles KFX.
