does it still work? even when I used it last you had to do some janky shit like download a specific version of kindle pc app and use that to download the book for the first time or the book would be downloaded with newer drm and stuck that way forever, and get the file from the old kindle pc app into dedrm
If it doesn't just download copies from libgen you've already paid once.
I haven't used it in a few years, I use a certain anonymous rodent to get my books now.
