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. My special thanks to all those developers who have done the hard work of reverse engineering to provide the initial tools.I started off reading eBooks from the Amazon Kindle store. You can't load the whole tools archive into calibre. Do remember to unzip the downloaded archive to get the plugin (beta versions may be just the plugin don't unzip that). But to cover the most common: Use ADE 2.0.1 to be sure not to get the new DRM scheme that these tools can't handle.

This includes the tools from a time before Apprentice Alf had a blog, and continues through to when Apprentice Harper (with help) took over maintenance of the tools. (Except for the Requiem tools for Apple's iBooks, and Convert LIT for Microsoft's. This is a repository that tracks all the scripts and other tools for removing DRM from ebooks that I could find, committed in date order as best as I could manage. I shall be using noDRM's version of the tools from now on. I am delighted to find that someone else has taken on the task of keeping the tools updated, and making releases. I have not had the time to devote to this project in recent years that I would have liked. ![]()
