Is there any way of buying books from another online shop and reading them on my Kindle (paperwhite)?

I'm interested in the new PocketBook Color 7.8 inch (https://www.theverge.com/2021/2/15/22284923/pocketbook-inkpad-color-kaleido-e-reader-available-now-price) both because I want to move away from Amazon products and because it has USB-C charging but I have a lot of kindle books already. Does anyone know of a good way of transferring bulk transferring them? Edit: Or to give the full story my old Kindle died and I want a non-Amazon, USB-C charging device with a good quality display and user interface. Are there many options these days?

8-bit Miniboss posted:You’ll have to strip the DRM if you haven’t already to use them on other devices. Calibre and the DeDRM plugin can do this though you have to jump through some hoops to get the correct version that is just old enough to defeat the protection. Yeah, I actually thought ereaders were a dead category but turns out there are a lot of smaller companies still involved. The BOOX Poke 3 looks like a good replacement and does have the kindle app. People seem to complain about the swiping affect which is more suited to devices with a real screen though. Breaking the DRM looks like a real pain.

Just to let people know I bought the Poke 3 as a present and it’s got great reviews so far. As it’s an android device we were able to download the kindle app and a couple of local Danish reading apps and it all works smoothly. It’s powerful enough to do that, but not full featured enough to get distracted by the bells and whistles.

Well, no need to ponder further - ars technica confirmed it's USB-C. Another hold out bites the dust.
