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. The DRM removal plugin (DeDRM_plugin.zip) can be found in the tools archive linked from the most recent post in this blog. The latest version can be downloaded from. To be able to use the DeDRM plugin for calibre, it is necessary to install calibre first. However, it is possible to added third-party software (‘plugins’) to enhance calibre. It is available for Windows, Mac OS X and Linux.Ĭalibre cannot, on its own, remove DRM from ebooks. Onto the Tutorial.Calibre is a free, open source, ebook management and conversion utility created and maintained by Kovid Goyal. The only thing I do to set this Rube Goldberg-esque sequence into motion is to download a new book using either Adobe Digital Editions or Kindle for Mac. From there, every time a book is added to that folder, Calibre knows to add it into my Calibre library, will delete the book (to avoid duplicates) and if it is DRM free, Calibre will convert it into my preferred format. I’ve set up Automator to “watch” the folders where I download my ebooks – either in epub, pdf, or Kindle – and move them into a separate folder. These types of programs really are harnessing the power of your computer and making the device work for you. I’ve just started researching Automator and I’m blown away at what it can be set up to do for you. In the future, rather than executing each step individually, you simply run the macro.īut MAC Operating Systems have a macro utility built right in. A macro utility essentially records a number of repetitive steps to complete a task. It was the first time I had heard about Hazel, a low priced software that serves as a macro utility. While the user did this to automatically strip the DRM from the books, the tutorial is smart for any one who wants to create an ongoing catalog of their purchases. I saw a post the other day about using Hazel + Calibre to automatically import your Kindle files into Calibre. This is a MAC only post but next week Brian will author a post for PC users
