Unfortunately, yes. Look for DRM-free sources for digital content if you can!

You could also consider shopping at local bookstores and secondhand bookstores/thriftbooks which will save you some cash! 😊

1,000% agree! I utilize varied fonts, inverted color, and audio books to keep my classroom accessible!

I think I saw someone say you have to have a pre-2024 kindle to use Calibre effectively. I'm sure there are other ways to strip the DRM, but that's not my area of expertise 😅

It's called Digital Rights Management if you want to look into it! I would imagine if there's a federal ban on anything, Bezos (Amazon) would comply, basically firewalling just the banned books. Look for DRM-free online, and you can use Libby on your Kindle to support your local library, too!

Yikes! I feel like my library is fairly well stocked, but wait times seem endless. You should be able to get a library card for anywhere in your county or state for free (depends where you live), so maybe check a large city near you, their online library may have more resources!

Any book or short story by Margaret Atwood, Fahrenheit 451, The Hate U Give, The Scarlet Letter, A People's History of the United States, The Paraple of the Sower, even a lot of fantasy books. The American Library Association has an extensive list of commonly banned books, too!

Look for DRM-free sellers! Additionally, some authors and publishers allow you to buy digital copies directly from them! The Internet Archive also has things you can read for free!

Check out thriftbooks if you haven't already! It should save you some money!

Some publishers will sell books with inverted colors and/or in the dyslexia font! I know that's not convenient or feasible for everyone. You should look into epub files. Some people who replied to this post have workarounds if you want to look into those!

If it's a fanfic, you can usually easily and legally download an epub file, and you fully own it and can print it from there. A lot of content that's exclusively online can also be purchased and/or downloaded from the author or publisher's site! Look for DRM-free when looking online!

I think legal and right can be different, and you did already pay for it 🤷♀️

I'm not sure on how that would work. My assumption would be that there's still a DRM, and even if you own the file, your eReader could throw a wall up and not access it on a US server.

Yep! If you can find a DRM-free seller, you're good, but most (if not all) reputable sellers have DRM in place. There are ways to remove the DRM, but it's not legal to do so. It is legal, however, to tell someone how to do it.

eReaders and audiobooks support readers with disabilities. Also, it's fine if someone prefers the convenience of digital content. It's fine if someone prefers physical, too 🤷♀️
