Download Drm Removal Plugin For Calibre
Rachel Neylon
The DRM removal plug in has stopped working on my computer. I have removed Calibre, updated Calibre, reverted to an older version of Calibre and done the same for the DRM Plug in. When I try to import the DRM removal plug in I am getting an error message stating that the file does not have all complete files. I have attempted to redownload these a number of times.
Is calibre DeDRM not working anymore? I make sure I have DeDRM plugins in calibre, but when I open the pdf in calibre, my acrobat keep telling me to open with digital edition and tells that the file is still have a DRM
There is no need to have Mobipocket Reader installed, nor to configure the plugin with its PID, unless you have bought books for it at an ebook store (e.g. Fictionwise) that required you to enter that PID.
I have kindle for pc not the device- but I archived all the books in my kindle desktop ap, uninstalled kindle and deregistered in amazon. Then I reinstalled kindle for pc, registered the new kindle for pc and opened all my archived books again- then dragged the books to calibre- worked on all my kindle books but 1
Yes it is nate. It is simply an all in one .azw4 file that is 133mb in size. I also did try to save to an external folder and reinsert into calibre to change it to mobi to read on my tablet, but this is no help. Once I export it then the drm is gone?

Using Library AlfCrypto DLL/DYLIB/SO
is not a valid Kindle serial number or PID.

No kindle.info files have not been found.

I am using Calibre version 0.9.1 with
K4MobiDeDRM_v04.5_plugin. I am trying to remove the DRM from a .azw file. I entered the correct Kindle serial number, but I get the error message below. Any ideas of what I am doing wrong?
Thanks
unfortunately, yes they have to run together. The plugin needs to read the secret KindleID number of your K4PC application, which I believe would be hidden in the registry of your computer. I suppose you could hunt that down, but it would be much easier to simply install calibre in windows.
Well I tried again without copying the file and had calibre import it from the Kindle directory. This time it seems to work ok. I do the conversion after the import. The formatting seems to have some problems, but otherwise is fine.
Well I am doing something wrong I suppose. I follow the steps, downloaded the ebook from K4pc to my computer. Its a randomletter/number title .prc file. I open calibre, tell it to add that.prc file, add its fine, shows me title, cover, everything groovy in the library, except it is in AZW, well I need it as mobi to get it to my nexus kindle app (book was bought on orig kindle, which was setup with wifes info, this nexus i just bought has my info) so when I try to do the convert it tells me the book is protected by drm. so it either did not work, or I am doing something wrong, but I am pretty sure I followed all the steps. Any help would be appreciated.
Well never mind I guess. I got it to work. Wrong logic, but end result was a success.
Looking at the debug log I posted (at the tool creators site) and they key it was using, I assumed it was an old key (kinf2011). I thought maybe I had the K4pc on my computer at an earlier date, so I went into K4PC, de-registered, closed the application, went to the key file location, (%userprofile\AppData\Local\Amazon\Kindle\storage) deleted it, deleted all content out of My Kindle folder. and Started over, re- registered account. downloaded book, , it opened, flipped through a few pages, closed it, closed the K4PC program. Opened calibre with debug command dragged the ebook in and saw that it was successful. ?
When I attempt to instal DeDRM plugin.zip calibre says it is an invalid plugin and does not proceed. Previously I had followed the same procedure and installed an Epub plugin which has worked perfectly.
Any suggestions please
I thought I was using Calibre 1.47.0 but ,in fact, was not. I have upgraded to it and the plugin is now accepted and installed.
As a previous commentor has advised, I have found that if a book cannot be opened in Kindle for PC ,then its format cannot be converted in Calibre. Adding that book to Calibre does not remove its DRM.
Patricia. If you are on Windows, try right clicking the Calibre icon and select "Run as administrator". Exit, and run Calibre again. It should work. I think the plugin might require admin rights after install to get things setup right.
I seem to have a problem with the DRM of manga ebooks I bought on Amazon Japan. They are in AZW3 format; I can add them to calibre with no error message coming up, but then only the cover shows up and cannot access the content at all?
I was hoping to read these on a different ereader.
as of 03/17/2017
Installed plugin, installation went smoothly, but it would seem that the new Kindle files are impervious to this remedy, as I am unable to convert the files.
Is there an update ?
You need to be using Kindle for PC 1.17 found at:
-installer-1.17.44170.exe
or for Mac -44182.dmg
Newer versions of Kindle for PC get KFX files that calibre does not know how to handle. 1.17 will get AZW that is a good format for DeDRM.
I told you to do it again because it was still looking for the config file.
I haven't updated the calibre plugin for 0.5 in a long time. So, that is possible.
With these kinds of problems, I would do a fresh install.
calibre does not set any file associations at install time. All it does
is notify windows of what file types it is capable of handling, on first
run, that is what the AssocFile entries are. And you can remove those if
you like, by running calibre-debug --default-programs=unregister
MSI runs in system hive, file associations are per-user. So file associations are not created by the MSI, they are created by calibre on first run *per user*. And there is no need for FUD. File associations left behind after a program is uninstalled do not cause any problems and are trivial to override.
Again, there are no actual file associations created by calibre. I dont
know how many times I need to repeat this. All that is created, is
entries telling windows what calibre is CAPABLE of handling.
Software that removes the configs/caches when it is uninstalled is
MALWARE. calibre is not malware, and this fact *alone* is sufficient to
explain why configs/caches are not maliciously deleted.
Any system that does not use consistent places for storing configuration and provide for complete removal of all traces of an application when uninstalling that application, without the user having to hunt for and delete these traces, is badly designed. Both Windows and Linux are guilty of not doing these things properly.

I mean, this really does exist as far as I can tell? For calibre, it is the "calibre" directory inside the XDG "config" and "cache" directories? What's the problem here? Why is Linux also "guilty of not doing these things properly" -- what other actions would you like Linux to take?
I do understand where you're coming from, saying that Windows is less than optimal here -- per this entire discussion about ***Windows*** registry keys. I just happen to think this is the fault of Windows, not calibre.
The DeDRM plugin can remove DRM from Kindle eBooks (but not rented Kindle ebooks, books downloaded to a Kindle Fire,
Kindle for iOS or the Windows Store Kindle App), Barnes & Noble ePub ebooks (but not books downloaded to the Windows
Store Nook App) , any ebooks using Adobe Digital Editions DRM (this includes ePubs from Kobo and Sony that are
downloaded for Adobe Digital Editions), and the older Mobipocket and eReader ebooks.
There are two Calibre plugins installed: DeDRM and Obok. The DeDRM plugin handles books that use Amazon DRM, Adobe
Digital Editions DRM (version 1), Barnes & Noble DRM, and some historical formats. The Obok plugin handles Kobo DRM.
To use the plugin, simply import DRMed ebooks into Calibre, and the DRM will be removed. If ebooks have already been
imported into Calibre, they will need to be removed and imported again to remove the DRM.
In cases where actual malware is found, the packages are subject to removal. Software sometimes has false positives. Moderators do not necessarily validate the safety of the underlying software, only that a package retrieves software from the official distribution point and/or validate embedded software against official distribution point (where distribution rights allow redistribution).
