### Why is this necessary?

**Kindle uses a [custom AZW3 format](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kindle_File_Format) which includes heavy DRM**, making it very difficult to access the contents of ebooks that you own. It is possible to [strip the DRM using existing tools](#alternative-approaches), but it's a serious pain in the ass, is very difficult to automate, and the "best" solution is expensive and not open source.
