Moving away from Kindle (lemmy.today)

I've been using the Kindle ebook reader for over a decade now, and I've accumulated quite a big digital library from Amazon. However, now I'd like to move away to another ebook reader, preferably Kobo, but I don't want to leave my Kindle ebooks behind. I'd like to bring them with me.

Does anyone have any advices or tools that they can recommend that will allow me to move my Kindle ebooks over to Kobo or some other ebook reader (e.g. Nook)?

P.S. Sorry if this post has nothing to do with this community. Out of all the communities I follow, this one seemed to be the most appropriate for such a question.

I have a Kobo Clara HD, also moved quite a few years ago from a Kindle to this. I really love the accessibility of the Kobo ecosystem. The store, while not as vast as Amazon, has good books to choose from. You can also load your own items onto it. Calibre has good support. All in all, I am happier with it than the Kindle; not worried about a book disappearing on me.

I have Kobo Forma. Selecting text doesn't work well, and it seems the battery always drains quickly in sleep mode. But otherwise very good, love the large screen.

On my Kobo Libra 2 the battery only drained with wifi on. It won't charge over 76% for some reason though.
