It even reads DRM-protected Kindle books.


No, it doesn't. You cant even download them except into a kindle. I
tried.


Install the plugin. Use Google to find it.

You can download them. But you will need a Windows machine temporarily,
install the Windows Kindle application and you'll get the files. I know
this is a kludge, but I only needed it once, after which I stopped using
Amazon anyway. I buy all my ebooks elsewhere now, and they are all DRM-
free epubs.
