Having switched to a kobo in the last week from a kindle, yes it is still possible, but involves a few steps, one of which can require an old version of the kindle for PC app. [1]

I couldn't make it work on books already downloaded to my kindle - they had to be downloaded via the app - and since it requires an old version of an app that automatically tries to update, I'm not sure how long it'll be possible, so my suggestion is to dump kindle and Amazon if you every want to have any control over your books.

I can confirm this: I downloaded the old version of the app (on a Windows laptop), isolated it so that it would not auto-update, and then used it to download all my books (after the deadline had passed) and convert them with Calibre, which got rid of the DRM crap. You have to do both the downloading and the conversion on the same computer -- other than that, it worked perfectly for my more than 100 books.

Thanks, I didn't know about this change and it is too late to use the "official means".

I have to setup my Windows again and do it eventually though.
