Free Ebook / Audiobook Amazon Hack
-
2016-03-08 at 1:05 AM UTCAs soon as I figured this out, I instantly thought of you guys.
So it's no secret that EasyDoesIt is short on cash. I got an oldschool E-reader from a garage sale (some old kindle model) a few months ago. This is awesome since I read a shit ton of books.
The only thing is that I've also spent a ton of money on ebooks because you can buy them through the device. This kind of sucks but I love to read so I was torn. Anyway, I wound up getting this goofy thing on Amazon called "Kindle Unlimited" where you can read as much as you want for for like 10 bucks a month.
I found a weird "free trial" promotion loophole that works for thirty days. Basically you just signed up for the free trial on your amazon account, download a ungodly amount of books for a month weeks, and then unsubscribed from it before it's over.
The best part is that you don't even need a kindle. It works on your phone, computer, or whatever. You can even download audiobooks from it.
I'm learning Web Development so I can change careers and it's awesome that my books are now free. Just a note, this probably works on textbooks.

Agreed. I just like this because you don't have to know what you're looking for. You just browse amazon and grab what you want. -

2016-03-08 at 3:42 AM UTCNice find man. Any idea if they delete after you cancel the trial or if they have safeguards against OP's idea? I know somestreaming services will let you download videos but they are only good so long as your subscription is. In any case I am sure soph or one of our resident 4@xx0Rz could find a way to unlock the drm.

Well what I did was save all this stuff to an external HD after I downloaded it. So after my subscription was cancelled, it didn't affect the files I had saved there.
Amazon has a lot of weird things like this. -

Amazon used to use a DRM scheme which allowed remote deletes, but i think this only worked in conjunction with their e-book reader. -

That's pretty interesting. I've never experienced that problem though.
I have a ton of stuff saved up because of the ol' Zoklet library.
