You don't mention how they read these books, is it a Kindle e-ink device, a Fire Tablet, or some other way? I ask because the shitification has started, they have a new file format they deliver to devices that are capable of KFX. That's anything made after the 1st Paperwhite e-ink Kindle. The new KFX file is not crackable with current NoDRM/DeDRM tools that can be found on GitHub.
As for FOSS, Koreader can be found on github and is installable on most Kobo devices as well as Remarkable devices if going with e-ink, and can be installed on android devices through F-Droid or manual install. Always read the install instructions to make sure you understand the install procedure on e-ink devices.
KFX up to Kindle for PC 1.26 can be converted with the KFX input plugin.
Currently android tablet with kindle app. Uses windows desktop to organize library (which the latest update forces you to do via cloud)
I'll send you to an older post, here.
It's a hassle, but it works mostly, unless it's textbooks or books made for the Indian market. Mobile read has info about the changes, here and here.
It basically involves installing an android emulator to windows and using old Kindle for Android apps as the workaround, but Amazon can stop that whenever they feel like it.
