Kindle eBooks are in the MobiPocket format. Download all of your eBooks (open them from the “Archived Items”).There are scripts to do conversions directly from Kindle hardware’s eBooks, but it’s more effort. The DeDRM scripts work by understanding Kindle for Mac’s settings files, so to get the eBooks we need use the application. The decryption key is a product of the serial number for your device, so it’s not difficult to determine. The encryption used on Kindle books is fairly basic. Choose the K4MobileDeDRM plugin’s zip file (zip within the main zip don’t extract).Download and decompress the DeDRM archive.Since the Kindle’s eBooks are encrypted, we need to install a decryption plugin to do the heavy lifting there.
It’s a bit ugly but it does what it says and works well. I’m specifically focusing on the Mac since that’s all I know other users will have to venture elsewhere.Ĭalibre is a Java application which is an eBook management suite. Since I went through the effort of converting all of my Kindle documents, I figured I’d write a mini guide to getting it done. I could use the Kindle app for iOS but I’ve found iBooks to be faster at syncing read position, and it feels a lot more natural to use. So I’ve converted all of my Kindle purchases to ePubs for use in iBooks. Partly because I forget to charge it, and partly because I can never get the lighting in my favorite reading locations quite right. As time has progressed, I’ve found myself using my physical Kindle less and less. I thank them all, and hope that someone will always step up to continue the work.I started off reading eBooks from the Amazon Kindle store. So noDRM is just the latest in a long line of wonderful people who've allowed me to spend a lot of money on ebooks, as I decided way back sometime in the early 2000s to never buy an ebook with DRM I couldn't remove. IIRC, Apprentice Alf set up a blog with explanations and links to places to download the latest version (which was usually whatever fileshare site was still working!)Īnd Apprentice Harper set up a gihub account with all the versions back to The Dark Reverser's mobipocket script in the history, giving a stable place to find the latest version. Then there was I♥CABBAGES who released DRM removal for Adobe ebooks.Īnd then there were many others who improved the tools, including decrypting and decoding Amazon's Topaz and decrypting KFX files.Īnd the people who worked on decrypting Kobo books from the Kobo app. Or was Apprentice Harper involved all along? (Don't know the history.)As I recall, the first was "The Dark Reverser" who release a python script for removing DRM from Mobipocket ebooks. I feel like I need to find some way to thank Apprentice Alf for all his work. Thanks for the clarification I inadvertently added an extra layer of confusion.
