Saw a number of free books on Apple Books and was wondering if I could get them on my Kindle. Every single one I tried was DRM-free other than 1984.

There are some tools out there to rip the DRM out of those.
Yeah, I know. E-Book DRM is super lame, because nearly every version of it has already been cracked. It’s just frustrating.
Fun factoid:
Not the easiest way(need to register, etc.), but I once cracked DRM on an e-book by using my old sony e-reader’s software combined with adobe digital editions. I think my sony e-reader is too old to work with current DRM, so sony/adobe would allow you to convert it to a DRM free version.
Not only has DRM been cracked. It’s possible to crack it using official software. Like someone complaining about piracy after chucking a copy of their movie on a torrent site.
Obviously, there are much easier ways. Or just pirate that shit after you’ve bought it.
I agree with purchasing something to support the creators, which is done mostly to allow them to make more similar stuff. Orwell has been dead for 73 years though. I hope he doesn’t write any more. I don’t know where the money goes for the purchase now, but it’s not supporting the creator anymore.
