Hello David etc.

It’s a very clunky experience and I’m probably making it harder for myself than 
necessary.

1. Buy a book from Amazon
2. Open Kindle for Mac and press enter on my new purchase so it is pulled down 
on to the Mac’s HD.
3. Open Kindle DRM removal and select the new book and remove it’s DRM.
4. Then from the terminal use the calibre ebook-convert command to generate 
whatever format I require. For my recipe books I like to be able to search so I 
convert to plain text. Others I use epubl

That’s it in a nutshell. The DRM removal tool is an app that offers a free demo 
period but then a licence has to be purchased.

Regards,


Gena
