So I've had a kindle since 1st generation. Love it.

BUT I never ever have my kindle on wireless. Always buy books from amazon w desktop computer, download manually, then remove DRM, then manually transfer them via usb.

Never had a problem.

The act of removing the DRM is illegal in a lot of places, and most definitely against the TOS of the store you bought your book on.

the OPs point was that you could've just downloaded it as well. Both is illegal and downloading from one of the zlibrary mirrors is just easier and quicker at the end of the day.
