Oh, just checked, the current version (1.26.1 or greater) is 64-Bit. OK, then I suggest the modification from mobile-read.This results in a few crash-logs, but these pop up only after “Kindle for Mac” is used, when you quit it.If you can live with that, they go away after some time, I have not seen the crash-error for a few weeks.The modification has to be applied for each update, so the suggestion to turn of auto-update for Kindle is still advisable.Basically you drill into the App package. For safety reason you can duplicate the App before trying this.Kindle.App – Contents – MacOS – and set the renderer-test to non-executable. I used a NortonCommander like utility, but you can use the mentioned chmod on commandline, see the Link below, may need sudo ( Admin account and password ) to execute the chmod.chmod -x /Applications/Kindle.app/Contents/MacOS/renderer-testAfter this, test this with a few newly downloaded books, and try to DeDRM them. This newer version uses a new folder for each book under the “My Kindle Content” folder, where ever you have moved this.Link to the old suggestion for turning off KFX download:As far as I read here on this blog, the similar modification does not work anymore for the current Windows version for some reason, but I am not sure about that, I cannot try it without Windows. My guess is, you use Calibre.

2. Remove Drm From Rented Kindle Books

After following the instructions to install the Kindle PC plugin, I have a kindle book that I purchased directly from Amazon, and downloaded to my PC using the Kindle PC program. Whent I try to convert the file to a pdf, I get a message that the file is still DRM protected.

Method 1: If you still keep the box when you receive it, search then you will find the KSN. Method 2: If not, click on screen menu button - Settings - tap menu again - Device Info, then you will see 'Serial Number'.

Computer is Win 7 Pro 64 bit. Thanks, for the reply, Paul. After posting this comment, I did some additional research on the web and discovered the issue with versions 1.25+ of Kindle. I uninstalled Kindle, downloaded and installed version 1.24.3. After downloading the azw file in Kindle, I was able to successfully remove the DRM with the Calibre plugin. Unfortunately, after converting the file to pdf, the formatting of the file got all discombobulated, rendering the pdf useless for any purpose. I can’t imagine what the cure for that might be, but I doubt it’s related to the removal of DRM.

Geez, all I really want to do is to print the stupid file! “Geez, all I really want to do is to print the stupid file!”While DRM could prohibit printing a Kindle file, you should be able to print it after removing DRM be it from.From your description it sounds like a comic, art-book or a manual, it may be that the problem is with the printing, depending on your printer setup. As 33 pages is not that much, try printing one page at a time. This might help if it is a problem with converting to color to black/white or scaling for the printer.As you guessed, if DRM is removed, there is not a lot we can do to help here. Help please:Trying to De-DRM an ADE eBook (acsm - epub).

Here is how you can use Calibre to remove DRM rights and use. In the new pop up window that appears, enter the Kindle serial number. How to read Kindle books on PC with or without app Best free DRM removal.

I’m using Linux and for the life of me cannot get ADE to work on there. As a workaround, I have now installed ADE on my Android phone.

This way I could at least download the book I had paid for. I was hoping that I could now transfer the epub file to my computer and do the De-DRMing from there. Turns out I seem to need a ADE Key which the plugin will automatically find IF ADE is installed on the computer (it’s not!) Is there any way to find out my ADE Key and manually add it?P.S.: I’ve already spent 4 evenings to try and get ADE to work on Linux (through wine). My current problem is that I apparently need to download ADE 4.5.0, but I can’t find any versions below 4.5.8 or so.

I’m trying to back up a pair of DRM-protected books purchased directly from the publisher to Calibre (vs 3.47.1 running on Windows 10) from my aging Kindle Paperwhite (5th gen, vs. The Kindle is showing its age and I don’t want to lose these books when it gives up completely.

I I followed your instructions (thanks for being so clearmuch appreciated!) and the deDRM plugin shows up on the main Plugins popup as being installed. However, it doesn’t come up on the list of “user plugins” that are available to install. Not sure what my next step should be; nothing changes when I try to load the book file from the Kindle and open in Calbre. Still getting the DRM protected message.

Thanks for any help you can offer. The Barnes & Noble Nook DeDRM tool does not appear to be working any longer as far as retrieving new decryption keys. I’ve used the same key for about seven years, but was recently forced by B&N to change my password, which broke my key. I’ve tried to use the Calibre plug-in to retrieve my key.

I keep getting the error “Could not retrieve key. Check username, password and internet connectivity and try again.” I’ve verified that I have the correct information and I have internet access. The tool just isn’t working. I’ve been trying for several days now with no luck. Has anyone else experienced a similar issue or does anyone know anything about this? Yes, thats the beta, someone (Jon?) asked wether it worked with DeDRM, and I tested it.It shows how good the programmer of Calibre is, all settings and plugins where there – although I did not test much, so cannot confirm except for EPub (from German shops Thalia and ebook.de with Adobe DRM) and Kindle.

Did not test Kobo.(A few minutes later). Yes, oBook Kobo DeDRM plugin continues to work.

As expected after the test yesterday.As Barnes and Nobles recently forced me to change my password, I have yet to test an older Yosemite installation (with VPN as I am living in Germany) but guess Barnes & Nobles is now gone for me, good riddance, Kobo is getting better, and except for the Kobo changes to some EPub (enhancements?) I can live with that, but am not too fond of it, ok but I also was never with Barnes & Nobles, so nothing has changed really. Except, that Kobo knows I am German and does not sell me certain books they offer in USA.The problem with Barnes & Nobles for me, is, I found a free book and bought it, but after the password change, my old Barnes & Nobles App “Nook for Mac” does not start anymore. So while DeDRM might still work, the problem is the download. Some have a solution with Android, but it is from the description a near hack to get to the password, I am up to it, but currently have no real important books I need to DeDRM from B&N, the free one would be nice to have – and might even be without DRM. I’m really hoping someone can help me. TL;DR: downloaded library kindle book will expire before I need it, went to buy it on kindle and they aren’t selling it.

I need to remove the DRM to use the book.I can’t believe this!! I borrowed a Kindle book from my local library about IDing edible mushrooms because I’m going on a trip. I had a hold on the book, and when it was ready I grabbed it – but it will expire before my trip, and there are already holds on it so I can’t just renew. It’s a large book with lots of pictures (46mb file).

I know deDrm isn’t made to do borrowed books – I found that out after converting a few times (It took hours) and then the file wouldn’t open on the other device I have registered to a different email. I downloaded the file into the Kindle for PC – v 1.24.3. I have the deDrm tools installed on Calibre. The file opens as a mobi, I don’t get any error when I try to convert it to epub(although the formatting doesn’t convert well, so I keeping it a mobi is fine). I realize there is a problem being it is a borrowed book, so I went to Amazon to just purchase it for $15 and Amazon has this error: “Item Under Review This book is currently unavailable because there are significant quality issues with the source file supplied by the publisher.” The file looks fine on my device and on the PC. I really need a copy for my trip.

Can anyone help me out? “Mushrooms of the Midwest” checking from Germany (!), not sure about the US, but it is available for Eur 11,10 fromplay.google.com so maybe other also have it (ebook.de dos not).1 Eur is 1.10 Us$ today, so maybe Us$ 12 or a little more.Listed as DRM protected. Hot wheels mechanix set up events. As I have bought a few ebooks from them, this the normal Adobe DRM, or was, the last time I bought from them.

It is not said, wether you get the EPub, or a PDF or I overlooked it.Cannot remember how it works, but I have an Adobe ID for quite some time and if you have your credentials on hand, you can enter them somewhere, so Google play EPubs work with the older Adobe DRM for me.A sample is available. Buying it somewhere else as an EPub with Adobe DRM and stripping DRM might be solution.

It should then be able to convert, or maybe not (to it sounds like an embedded PDF, if it has lots of pictures). I should’ve been more clear. When I open the azw in Calibre, it appears as a Mobi. It looks good in Calibre’s viewer, but I can’t open it in the kindle app on a device not connected to my account. I did manage to look into the DeDrm code and it still does not take care of it. I also downloaded kindle for PC 1.17. I opened the file in a trial DRM software after also looking into the code and it quickly saved it as an azw3 with an “ok” status, but I cannot open any azw3 files in the kindle app.

Kindle Drm Removal 2018

If I attempt to convert it to epub in Calibre, it takes about 3 hours and it’s very messed up 😦. I can read the library book file on the kindle fine. It has a lot of formatting – it’s in columns and has tons of pictures. I had a feeling it wouldn’t convert well to a different format, I just hoped it would read as well as the original after stripping the DRM.

Remove Drm From Rented Kindle Books

Ingo, you make a good point about reliability of content!Initially, Calibre would throw an error when I tried to convert, so I think the plugin is working (even if the converted files are messy) correct? Does Calibre strip the drm from the original file once it’s in the Calibre folder? I’m very clumsy with this, I just have a large non drm Calibre library of normal, minimally formatted books to swap between ePub and mobi. I did strip drm from an Overdrive book years ago, but that doesn’t even exist anymore. Normally I just let the library books expire.

I’ll check on google play. I m on Windows 7 and I am trying to remove the DRM from some Kindle books with Calibre as I have always done, but I am being stonewalled, even after down degrading the recent PC Kindle app to a previous version( 1,24) which is supposed to download Kindle books in the previous AZW format and and not the KFX.I installed the latest Calibre version ( 3.48) but still it doesn’t work.When I try to (re)install the DeDRM 6.6 plugin. In Caliber I get an error messageQuote ERROR: Unhandled exception: InvalidPlugin:The plugin in u’C:UsersvivonaDownloadsNew folderDeDRMtools6.6.3.zip’ is invalid. It does not contain a top-level init.py fileUnquote.The decryption and PDF conversion do work with the Epubor Ultimate but it is a trial version and we only get a uselss skeleton of the book. To get the complete PDF version we have to buy the software.I wonder why Calibre doesn’t work as it did before,It always returns the messages that the book is DRM covered.Can you help, pleaseThanksIttiandro.

Using a MacBook Air. Thanks for the suggestion, xromad, I installed the Calibre plugin and it’s removing the DRM fine there. I collect all my books in Calibre anyway and use that to convert the Kindle files to epub, so no extra work. I then go to Apple Books and add the book from the Calibre library. Apple Books is syncing fine between devices now, so the book shows up on my iPad and iPhone without any other action needed. And if anyone is wondering why I’m going through this, I just like the Apple Books interface better than Kindle for iPad/iPhone, and the Kindle versions are usually less expensive than Apple’s.

Thanks again. It is probably not the normal DeDRM error, but a typical macOS safety feature which prevents download from unknown sources to run. There are a few things to allow this, I think both may be needed:Apple-Menu – System Preferences – Safety – Security & Privacy – Privacy,select “Full Disk Access” in the left list, klick the lock and input your Admin credentials, select the DeDRM.App in the right list and set (x) to allow full disk access.Klick the lock again to secure that setting, quit System Settings.Test again.(the following is another way to this but according to Google should do the same)– Control-click the app icon, then choose Open from the shortcut menu.– Click OpenIf all still fails, the log is needed. Hi Ingo, I did as you suggested and gave DeDRM full disk access, but still got the error message. The latest changes to the DRM used on KFX have not been figured out yet. This is an all volunteer operation — so no idea if someone is working on it until (or if) they decide to share it.To get KFX files which these tools can handle, you’ll need the older 32-bit Kindle for Mac/PC (versions 1.19 through 1.24). But for conversion, you’re probably better off sticking to the older (KF8/AZW3) format when possible.

Those can be downloaded with the 64-bit Kindle for Mac 1.25 and later with the workaround Zola linked. Or from the Amazon website if you have an E-ink Kindle. PC users will be OK until Kindle for PC version 1.24 stops working (no imminent threat of 32-bit apps getting cut off), but right now version 1.17 is still fine.

Update to 4.1 fails in DeDRM plugin, so I attempted to update to 6.3.3 and got following error:calibre, version 4.1.0ERROR: Unhandled exception: InvalidPlugin:The plugin in u’/Users/Paul/Downloads/DeDRMtools6.6.3.zip’ is invalid. Here is t he debug trace: Begin forwarded message: From: Paul Maxfield Subject: Re: New comment DRM Removal Tools for eBooks Date: October 9, 2019 at 10:15:46 AM EDT To: Apprentice Alf’s Blog I successfully installed the DeDRM plugin and restarted Calibre. When attempting to Convert a KFX-ZIP to MOBI, I received the following error: RegardsPaul. Just wanted to share this with everyone interested:I did a fresh install of macOS 10.15 (Catalina), Calibre 4.1. And DeDRM 6.6.3The Calibre plugin works smoothly (at least with the PDFs for Adobe Digital Edition)The DeDRM application is still 32bit as it has been reported before and will therefore not open on CatalinaThere is an open issue on Github for this. If it takes longer to fix, it might make sense to add something to the DeDRM app readme, which currently states that the app is 64 bitI used ADE (Adobe Digital Edition) 4.5.10, which is 64bit.Here is the catch: If the media is delivered with ADE 4.5.10 using the hardened DRM, which is up to the vendor of the media to decide, it cannot be decryptedThere is a good chance (or maybe even guarantee) that the decrypt will still succeed using ADE 2.0.1 (32 bit) on 10.14 or older (e.g.

In a VM), as ADE 2.0.1 does not support the hardened DRMBottom line: upgrading to Catalina may make it impossible to decrypt files protected with Adobe DRM, regardless of 64bit support of DeDRM. This would only change if someone finds a way to break Adobes hardened DRM. There have been just a few posts about Catalina, and I wanted to add something and solicit additional feedback.I had run into the Kindle 1.24 issues and followed the recommended tactic (turning off auto upgrade, deleting and installing 1.23.1 (under High Sierra) and all is working (running 6.6.1)I have upgraded to Catalina and the conversion for adobe seems to be working fine, but of course Kindle does not work under Catalina.

For the best chance of success, you need to update to 1.26 and confirm it’s working with Alf BEFORE updating to Catalina.If you have already updated to Catalina while on 1.23.1, then the worse that will happen if you update to 1.26 is that it will continue to not work. However, if you’re lucky and there’s a kinf2011 key file leftover from when you were on High Sierra AND Amazon recognizes your device as the same on Catalina as it was on High Sierra, there’s a reasonable chance it will succeed.It would probably be best to leave Alf at 6.6.1 while you try this.

If it succeeds, it will probably be safe update to 6.63, but no guarantees.Do NOT delete any old files in User Library as that will almost guarantee failure. However, it is safe to remove individual ebooks from your Kindle Library while using Kindle for Mac. Just don’t delete files directly from any User Library folders.

Kinf2011 is part of Kindle for Mac 1.23.1. Alf needs kinf2011 to create dedrm.json, which unlocks your books.1.26 does not use kinf2011. Instead it uses kinf2018, which Alf cannot handle (yet?).So you either need kinf2011 or dedrm.json leftover from 1.23.1 AND because keys are device-specific, Amazon must recognize 1.26 as being on the same device as 1.23.1.If kinf2011 or dedrm.json have been lost, or if Amazon treats 1.26 as being on a new device after upgrading to Catalina, Alf won’t work. This is why it’s best to get 1.26 working with Alf before upgrading to Catalina. Yes, the chmod command, but apparently I had done something else out of order. Removed the kfx-zip, removed the book from the kindle local lib, upgraded to 6.6.3 (already had both kfx plugins at current version), restarted calibre, and.JOY!so, I was able to upgrade to catalina while at Kindle 1.23.1., install Kindle 1.26.1, point kindle 1.26.1 to the 1.23.1 store, download the book using context menu in kindle 1.26.1, add the book to calibre, and have the book appear as an azw3, convertible to epub.Oh frabjous day!this demonstrates that one need not have upgraded from 1.23.1 to 1.26 before upgrading to catalina (though I did have 1.23.1` working before upgrading. Not sure what all the intricacies might be, but my sequence did apparently result in everything working (HUGE sigh of relief).Thanks.

Note: I had kindle set to auto upgrade, so had had to delete the upgraded kindle and return to 1.23.1. That meant I had two stores on my computer, as the “new” kindle created a new store, but when I reinstalled 1.23.1 it went back to using the old location. I pointed the newly installed kindle back to the 1.23.1 store. Laura says:October 19, 2019 at 3:47 pmThat might be the issue. A leftover from the previous installation of 4.5. Delete that registry key. Make sure ADE 2.0.1 is authorized and try again.I follow Laura Instructions:Uninstall ADE 2.0 again and using the regedit find and delete all references to ADE 2.0 and ADE 4.5.

Reinstall the DeDRM in Caliber 4 and ADE 2.0, I configure DeDRM and authorized ADE 2.0 and.SUCCESSES finally remove the DRM!!!!!Thank you very much for your attention. I have learned a lot of things.
