- read the whole thing: How I Reversed Amazon’s Kindle Web Obfuscation Because Their App Sucked
TL;DR
- I bought my first ebook from amazon
- Amazon’s Kindle Android app was really buggy and crashed a bunch
- Tried to download my book to use with a functioning reader app
- Realized Amazon no longer lets you do that
- Decided to reverse engineer their obfuscation system out of spite
- Discovered multiple layers of protection including randomized alphabets
- Defeated all of them with font matching wizardry
