Drm Removal Plugin For Calibre Free Download
Reyna Boyenga
The DRM removal plugin (DeDRM_plugin.zip) can be found in the tools archive linked from the most recent post in this blog. 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. For other kinds of ebooks see the other posts in this blog.
On Macintosh and Windows systems no customisation is required for ebooks from Kindle for Mac/PC, Nook Study, or Adobe Digital Editions (ADE), provided that calibre is run on the same computer and user account as the installation of Kindle for Mac/PC, Nook Study, or ADE to which the books were downloaded. The default key is found and stored in the preferences automatically. Anyone using Linux should read the ReadMe file for details of how to obtain the keys manually.
The DeDRM calibre plugin removes DRM from ebooks as they are imported into calibre. So to use the plugin, just import your DRMed ebooks into calibre, and the DRM will be removed. If you have already imported your ebooks into calibre, you will need to remove the DRMed ebooks and import them again.
The calibre developers are not involved in the development of the DRM removal plugin, and are not able to help with any DRM removal questions. If you have any difficulties following the instructions in this post, the calibre developers will not be able to help.
I see Apprentice Alf's plugin updated to 7.1 and works for Calibre 5.x now. I'm still running 4.23 and the old 6.8 plugin. I have a Kindle Paperwhite 4 and use the serial to strip DRM, though I do all my reading on another device now.
There may well still be problems with the DeDRM plugin. If you find a book that can be decrypted with calibre 4.23 and DeDRM 6.8.1, but that does not decrypt with DeDRM 7.1.0, please send me to original encrypted book, and your key exported from the DeDRM 6.8.1 preferences. I will try to reproduce the problem and fix the bug. Please send books and keys to apprenti...@gmail.com
I have an LCPL file that I want to put on my Kobo, but Kobo is not LCPL compliant and I found this plugin ( =4160258) to be able to upload it to my Kobo, but when I add the plugin and try to import the LCPL file, I get this error:
Worker process crashed while executing job Traceback (most recent call last): File "calibre/utils/ipc/pool.py", line 108, in recv File "calibre/utils/ipc/init.py", line 24, in eintr_retry_call File "multiprocessing/connection.py", line 221, in recv_bytes File "multiprocessing/connection.py", line 419, in _recv_bytes File "multiprocessing/connection.py", line 388, in _recv EOFError
The DeDRM_tools.zip you download from Github should be unzipped. After you unzip it, you will get a file DeDRM_plugin.zip which is exactly the file you should install to Calibre. Remember to install the DeDRM_plugin.zip instead of the DeDRM_tools.zip.
Then run Calibre, click "Preference" >> "Plugins" >> "Load flugin from file" >> add the DeDRM_plugin.zip file to Calibre. Follow the procedure and you'll find the DeDRM plugin has been added under the "File Type" option.
The above method with DeDRM plugin is a little bit difficult, right? Don't worry, I will share with you a simpler tool - Epubor Ultimate which is the best eBook DRM Removal and eBook Converter.For more details, please follow this complete guide:
1. No need to install DRM Removal plugin.
2. Easier to use than Calibre with a much simpler interface.
3. Automatically detect your books and load them to the software. No need to manually add them by yourself.
As the image shows, Epubor Ultimate can automatically recognize all your existing books and display them all at the left column under the Kindle tab. Just drag them from the left to the right blank zone, then the Kindle DRM will be removed soon and fast. A far more easier way than Calibre DRM Removal plugins. Right? Just download it to give it a try!
I have had the same error warning come up each time that I try to install the tool - theplugin -n c:\\users\mdgri\\Ddowlmoads\DEDRM Tool 7.2.1(4)zip is invalid. it does not contain a top level_int_py file
One detail that's missing from the instructions. If you're trying to back up your ebooks from your kindle then you need to customise the plugin and add your kindle's serial number. Then you download the ebooks from Amazon with the USB transfer option, and that will work.
Hello,
Thanks for your comment. I'm sorry that we can't make sure taht the DeDRM plugin of Calibre can decrypt all books protected by DRM.
If this plugin does not work for your book, I suggest that you can use our Epubor Ultimate, please test your book with the free trial version.
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?

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.
