I had an old kindle that I never connected to the net or with an amazon account. I loaded books by USB.

Damn near impossible to find DRM free books to purchase though.

My method has always been to buy physical books (which is also better to support the author, because they get a bigger % of the price you pay.

And then, there are other creative ways to download the ebook... (without buying from Amazon, or other monopolists.)

It is still possible to remove DRM and export to PDF or epub. Not point-and-click easy, though.
