Note that these instructions were written without the permission or participation of Kovid Goyal, the creator of calibre.Note that these instructions are Windows only, and some details will be different between the various versions of Windows.The process is minimally difficult and I’d like to share it with you. But first, a few warnings. I have long been on the side of removing DRM (it’s the best way to protect your purchases), but up until today I had never gone beyond pointing my readers at tools. It’s the cause of more pain and agony than a Snooki photo, and today I plan to help fix that. They worked for me on that day.ĭRM is the bugaboo of ebooks. I thank them all, and hope that someone will always step up to continue the work.Update: These instructions were updated on 11 July 2015. 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.
