Do yourself a favor and check out the Mojito syrup from Teisseire (France), it's the absolutely greatest shit, especially in summer.

That's a different one in the Philippines, OP's Pop Cola is a brand of Merlins Beverages in Romania.

I read a more in-depth analysis some time ago and a lot of them are just desperate people with financial or other problems, and becoming a Reichsbürger is more like a form of escapism from reality than something they really believe in. Imagine you have a crippling amount of debt and/or are about to be evicted for example, and then you read on some nutjob website that the state actually doesn't exist so you don't owe them anything and they have no authority to evict you, doesn't that sound great? All your problems solved by just burning your German ID card and printing out a new one of some made-up country. Of course reality gets them eventually but psychologically it's easier to bear for some people to believe that they're the victim of a huge conspiracy rather than face the fact that they fucked up and are screwed.

It would help to know which country you're in as you probably got your own online book stores. In Germany for example buecher.de, bol.de, hugendubel.de just to name the big ones all have it.

This is totally not advice but I thought it's a bit funny and worth sharing: after I recently found out that you can borrow ebooks from your local library with a convenient app I started looking around a bit and it turns out you can sign up online with the Kansas City Public Library without any verification, you just need a madeup name and an existing Kansas City address (just pick a random house on Google Maps). I just checked and they have it both as ebook and audiobook, although there's a long wait as it seems to be quite popular.
Long story short if you're not in a hurry then in theory you could read it for free and America pays for it. ;)

I downloaded Libby just to have a look and to my surprise I could just use my German library card with it to access the same libraries as with Onleihe! I always thought Libby was for US only. It's a much better app than Onleihe, especially the builtin in reader.

This sounds like you're missing the KFX plugin from step 3.

Unfortunately my Kindle is still working fine and I don't want to buy a replacement for something that's not broken, but eventually I'm gonna have a look at the e-ink readers from PocketBook, founded in Ukraine, now located in Switzerland.

I didn't show any errors when I was using the older version of DeDRM and/or had not configured the serial number, it just silently did nothing apparently and I only got an error when attempting to convert to epub.

Good luck! Remember that after fixing the plugins and serial number you gotta repeat from step 11 because as far as I understand it the DRM is removed during the copying from the device, not during the conversion to EPUB, but I might be wrong. Let us know how it worked out!

Reminds me of the time when Switzerland (or was it Austria?) had a huge problem with their air force because the cowbells of all the cow herds running around in the alps were fucking with their radar systems.

Oh we definitely have that here too, often it's repurposed old phone booths filled with books where you take one or leave one. Probably goes under a different name here though, and it's more of a novelty, not something where you go when you're looking for a specific book obviously. ;)

Him recognizing shit doesn't make it so though.
