(And on top of this, I feel that listening stats are really not as important or consequential as reading stats, given how much listening to you end up doing outside of LingQ once you get up to the intermediate levels, with podcasts, etc.)

Technically you will also have LingQ keep track of your listening stats, but it's super easy manually update the those stats - a hell of a lot easier than breaking down an audiobook.

If you import the text, and listen along to the book on the audible app on a phone or tablet, you can pause and stop and rewind as needed, plus you can adjust playback speed in 10% increments +/-, AND you can stop and walk away in the middle of a lesson and it will remember exactly where you left off.īut if you wanna import the audio, it will take you a lot of hassle to break down an audiobook to be able to match it to your LingQ lessons, and all you would get in return is reduced functionality. This comes up a lot, but I don't see any real advantage of having the audio for a book imported into LingQ. That´s different for Chinese companies (-> "EPubor") because China doesn´t care much about data / privacy protection. In short, LingQ users shouldn´t rely on online conversion services based in Western countries to remove Amazon's DRM protection mechanism, because once Amazon finds out, it´ll go after them and shut the service down. a kind of trivial offense - at least as long as Amazon customers don´t share their private Kindle books with others.
Of course it´s possible for Amazon customers to use "Calibre" in combination with the DeDRM plugin to remove Amazon's DRM protection mechanism. And since the EU has the strictest data / privacy protection laws in the world, a German company can´t offer to remove Amazon's DRM protection mechanism by default. This makes sense because the company seems to be based in Munich, Germany.
That´s why the DRM-related exception is thrown.

They use the Calibre software in the background for the conversion process- without Calibre´s DeDRM plugin. ": Versionsverwaltung mit Git (mitp Professional) (German Edition)" "cloudconvert" immediately displayed this error message: See:ġ) Go to the directory with the Kindle e-books (on my Win 10 system) that I downloaded from AmazonĢ) Select a Kindle book with DRM (in this case: an IT book in German)ģ) Upload the DRM protected Kindle book to "cloudconvertcom"Ĥ) Convert the Kindle book to the epub format So for the use case "the import of Kindle e-books into LingQ" it makes more sense to use the combo "calibre + DeDRM plugin" because the "conversion + DRM removal" process is straightforward and free, which isn´t the case for other solutions such as "EPubor Ultimate".īTW, cloudconvertcom isn´t completely "free" either. ": Versionsverwaltung mit Git (mitp Professional) (German Edition)". Instead it creates an error message like this one, for example: "cloudconvertcom" may be a comfortable solution for converting free e-book formats, but it doesn´t remove the DRM protection mechanism. if learners want to import their Kindle e-books into LingQ. However, the problem with protected e-books such as Kindle books is neither the format nor the format conversion process per se, but the DRM protection mechanism - esp. There are many e-book converters out there (see, for example,
