Tried to download my book to use with a functioning reader app
Realized Amazon no longer lets you do that
Decided to reverse engineer their obfuscation system out of spite
Discovered multiple layers of protection including randomized alphabets
Defeated all of them with font matching wizardry

OCRAD.js: Pure Javascript OCR via Emscripten – Blog
http://antimatter15.com/wp/2013/12/ocrad-js-pure-javascript-ocr-via-emscripten/
The idea of the extension was kind of simple and also kind of magical: a browser extension that allowed users to highlight, copy, and paste text from any image as if it were plain text. Of course the implementation is a bit difficult and actually relies on the advent of a number of newfangled technologies.

"A pretty amazing piece of JavaScript dropped yesterday and it's going to take a little bit to digest it all. It's a GreaseMonkey script, written by 'Shaun Friedle', that automatically solves captchas provided by the site Megaupload. There's a demo online if you wish to give it a spin."
The Digital Book: Paper's Last Hurrah
http://gizmodo.com/5081875/the-digital-book-papers-last-hurrah
"While Sony Readers and Amazon Kindles take to the scene, one paper lover, in celebration of the Blood on Paper exhibition (something we've never heard of but have a pretty good idea what it's about), released this USB copy of The New Machiavelli. Photographed page by page, those who think its contents might resemble Google Book Search would be dreadfully wrongWe thoroughly enjoy that his hands are in each shot. That's what the fancy Kindle has been missing all this time!"
