@@cass8330 Sorry to know that you weren't able to convert Kindle to PDF, but please try this method it will work regardless of any types of books as long as you can open it on your kindle. Some books with DRM doesn't seem to easily get converted using calibre, but this method doesn't use any type of such applications instead captures the screen so you should be able to convert it as required. Thanks.
Just a quick question: my attempt to connect my amazon account through the older kindle version results in a crash. A possible new measure they are using?
I used Auto HotKey and made a script that presses the right arrow key every second automatically. Then I recorded and immediately started the script. It automatically went through the whole book without me even touching the pc. Here's the code if you wanna make an Autohotkey file too. //code starts below this line F1:: ; start Loop { Send {Right} Sleep 1000 } return
F2::ExitApp ; close the script // code ended before this line
6/20/2023: Script works awesome.. note to newbies: use Notepad to copy and paste script, omit "//" line, change file extension from "txt" to "ahk" when you double click the file to run it, windows will ask you to install version 1+ of Auto Hot Key: remember 'F1' key starts script, and 'F2' stops script
I appreciate ... One method could be download FS capture take page screen shot with a single click... Save every page as pdf and combine all... It will remove all unnecessary software downloading.... ;)
I'm interested in it, do you have any video where everything is explained?? I do want to save time by removing all the unnecessary software downloading!! If possible of course...
screen capture pdfs won't work with apps like @Voice reader or T2S (well, @voice does have a slow OCR built-in that works on normal (non-cursive) fonts). I use these to listen to books while driving. For those, use the calibre/deDRM method.
I'm a teacher so my intentions are good. It's just that its stupid annoying and time-consuming to either "snip" pages into a Docs, or literally photocopy books for my students. This process might take 30 minutes in one sitting but that's how long it would take me to just photocopy a few chapters personally.
If using a phone/tablet simply download Google keep and screen shot what you want to copy/paste then click add image click the 3 dots and click Grab text from image. You can then copy/paste the text from google keep bypassing DRM :)

Why did you want them as pdf? I just found out how the buying of ebooks process works and didn't like it at all (I suppose I should've read the terms of services) and basically am trying to find a way to secure the files of the books I have purchased for myself. Is this a good method? It's OK if you know nothing about the matter.
I have a Mac, so your downloads "video to jpg" and "jpg to pdf" do not work. Any alternative? I can't download Kindle for Mac 1.17 either on my current Mac system.
Please is there another way to stop recording screen , i don't have a key called "End" i have been trying with ctr+ESC or other similar but it didn't works to stop recording 😢😢
After investing a lot of time following the laborious procedure, it turned out to be for naught, because the free version of the ActivePresenter software now outputs a black rectangle in the bottom right corner, so the images are useless for this purpose. 🤕
Hi, when I try and sign into the Kindle desktop app, it doesn't let me sign in - it tells me my email is incorrect (which it definitely is not). Do you know why this might be?
dont you think it will me easier if i just take repeated snapshots and just make a pdf out of it?? i mean if you have to make a video first by flipping manually, you might as well capture the screen...
I bought a Kindle ebook that is in German. I will have to do all this just to put the text into Google Translate... What a pain... 8942 pages long too...
Can u come up with something that will work for Android users . I have certain books which are for Kindle for Android or Kindle devices but not for kindle for pc .It will be really grateful
Your idea is good. What is wrong? You omitted to give us LINKS to the software you use, so we must read from the screen. Second, we don't need to click like idiots page down, page down, and to measure 1 second, the program auto keyboard presser can do it for us.

Makes no sense that you can't download books you've bought! What kind of scam is this???
Nope, use kindle pc than go to the file in pc and find kindle folder
You can download, but you can’t share it, even to your family or friends, even worsen than hard-copy book.

Mate you made my day!!! But I did not find an option as to how to capture many pages in one file but anyway it works I merge all PDF in one file later
Good idea.
But have to screen shot page by page
I noticed on the atomi ActivePresenter that there was a tab for PDF next to Video. Won't that be easier than having to video capture the image?
This works! I would highly recommend using an autoclicker when you are recording the video.
Where is the autoclicker??
