Adding to the mirror list. Cloned it to my Codeberg and my private Forgejo instance.
I compressed the source into a tar.gz. Here's a link to that of the (at the time of writing) latest commit, 59140a147f
If you can, please update the readme download section since the releases button and git command still point to the old GitHub
Good call. I'll try and do that but I am easily distracted so may end up disappointing you
Edit: Should be good now
Haha no worries
And thanks! Although it seems like the releases section is empty and the tags section doesn’t include any binaries
I clicked on some of the tags and got to binary downloads but yeah, I've never dealt with releases or compiled binaries via git myself so I have no idea how to make that better at this point 
Me too, mirrored to https://gogs.blitter.com/RLabs/DeGourou
There are literally multiple of us! We cannot be stopped!

Imagine buying books and not being able to do with them what you like
Because in circumstances like these and many many other digital stores your are not in fact buying the product, but a license to use the product in a very limited way.

ı dont understand why people host things thats not aligned with corporate interests into GIthub, gitlab while Codeberg, GItea etc exits
Also self hosted GitLab, since it's open source.
Running your own host is more work and costs money. And is harder to do anonymously.

Don't group gitlab with github

It seems like they made the same mistake as youtube-dl back in the day. If you develop a tool that can be used for piracy, do not straight up advertise that in your readme/documentation.
If you create a YouTube downloader, do not show it downloading music from major labels, use for a creative commons track for the demo instead.
And dont say in the short description of your repo that this tool is meant to steal books from an online lending library.
Thanks for the heads-up.. The streisand effect in action :)
I made it into a torrent here is the magnet link.
The irony of using archive.org trackers for this 😄

Migrated the repo to my own Gitea.
Dont forget to update the readme so the releases and git command points to your gitea instead of the github.
If you can could you make binaries? Seems like a lot of people are struggling with it and could help people make their archives more useable in the future
Is there a working drm removal tool for kindle books?
Yeah, use calibre and the drm removal plugin https://www.cloudwards.net/remove-drm-from-kindle-books/
Amazon changed some things at the beginning of the year, they made it very difficult to get the actual file in azw format. They only let you download kindle unlimited books in their secure kfx(?) format, which current DRM removal plugins are unable to process.
If you buy the book you can goto Content & Devices and download the book in azw3 format which can be processed by the DRM removal plugin.
From what I've read amazon is monitoring the sites where they're developing kfx bypass mechanisms and are sealing up those holes before a public release can be made. Which is irritating because I just hate the Kindle app and prefer MoonReader

Whoa, if this works it'll greatly ease my saving of rare books.. without having to reboot into Windoze to use the Adobe eBook crap and Calibre just to save an unencrypted version. Thanks!
Update: This is awesome. To get it working I had to install some python3 dependencies since I'd recently upgraded my box. If the main DeGourou.py script isn't running, try installing these:
$ pip3 install lxml pycryptodome cryptography charset_normalizer
(EDIT: just read requirements.txt it gives the above and some other dependencies. Duh.)
Then download, while logged into archive.org, your borrowed book (download link should be "URLLink.acsm"; then run
$ python3 ./DeGourou.py -f /tmp/URLLink.acsm
... and the PDF with its proper filename will be saved into the curret directory.
pip install -r requirements.txt
That's how you install everything a project needs ;)

The calibre (Alf) dedrm tool can work on Linux if you have your ADE set up on wine or on a windows partition
