Dedrm From Github

I started this thread with the ideea that many don't know where to go for information to dedrm books (and recently I had to install all, I mean all the programs on my personal PC )

The tools archive is not a calibre plugin. It is a collection of various DRM removal tools which includes calibre plugin. You must unzip the archive, and install the calibre plugin from a folder called 'DeDRMcalibreplugin' in the unzipped archive. The easiest option is to just stick with Calibre 4.23 until the DeDRM tools officially support the new version of Calibre. It sounds like some folks are having luck with the new beta version of the plugin according to some reports at GitHub so an official release probably isn't very far away.

1. DeDRM tools for ebooks. 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. (Except for the Requiem tools for Apple's iBooks, and Convert LIT for Microsoft's.lit ebooks.).
2. This blog has been supporting eBook Readers for a year and many DRM Removal methods were explained separated with each plugin in a single article. So, now, there is a simpler way to remove DRM from mostly any eBook extension with only one ultimate Calibre DRM Removal plugin.

The most easy and practical way to remove DRM from a book it's with Calibre, and below are the instructions.

About calibre
Calibre is a free, open source, ebook management and conversion utility created and maintained by Kovid Goyal. It is available for Windows, Mac OS X and Linux.
Calibre cannot, on its own, remove DRM from ebooks. However, it is possible to added third-party software (‘plugins') to enhance calibre.
To be able to use the DeDRM plugin for calibre, it is necessary to install calibre first. The latest version can be downloaded from calibre - Download calibre
Installing the DeDRM plugin for calibre
The latest tools_v6.5.1.zip can be downloaded from https://github.com/apprenticeharper/...ses/tag/v6.5.1
1. Download the latest tools package, and unzip it.
2. Run calibre. From the Preferences menu select 'Change calibre behavior'.
(Do not click 'Get plugins to enhance calibre', that option is reserved for ‘official' calibre plugins.)
3. Click on Plugins (under 'Advanced') — it looks like a jigsaw puzzle piece.
4. Click on the large 'Load plugin from file' button
5. Navigate to the tools folder unzipped in step 2

Download Dedrm Plugin

6. Open the 'DeDRM_calibre_plugin' folder
7. Select the DeDRM_plugin.zip file in that folder
8. Click on the 'Add' (sometimes 'Open') button.
9. Click on the 'Yes' button in the 'Are you sure?' warning dialog that appears. A 'Success' dialog will appear, saying that the plug-in has been installed. Click on 'OK'.
Using the DeDRM calibre plugin
The DeDRM calibre plugin removes DRM from ebooks as they are imported into calibre. So to use the plugin, just import your DRMed ebooks into calibre, and the DRM will be removed. If you have already imported your ebooks into calibre, you will need to remove the DRMed ebooks and import them again.
You can check that the DRM has been removed from an imported ebook by trying to view it using calibre's built-in viewer. Note that for .azw3 Kindel ebooks you might need to check a checkbox in calibre's preferences to say that .azw3 ebooks should be viewed using calibre's internal viewer.

If things go wrong
The calibre developers are not involved in the development of the DRM removal plugin, and are not able to help with any DRM removal questions. If you have any difficulties following the instructions in this post, the calibre developers will not be able to help.
Credits
Most of the work on converting the DRM removal scripts to a calibre plugin has been done by DiapDealer and Apprentice Alf.
Now we are prepared to strip the book by her DRM protection so will follow next :
There are several ways to go about getting your DRM-loaded Kindle books. You can:

1. Mount your Kindle as a USB device and pull them off.
2. Download them using the Kindle for PC app.

Let's look at each technique in order to highlight the benefits/shortcomings and what you need to do.
Copying the Books from Your Kindle: If you're going to rip the book directly from your Kindle device (or use the download and transfer technique), you need to manually enter the serial number of your Kindle into the DeDRM removal plugin. Do so by navigating back to Preferences -> Advanced -> Plugins -> File type plugins and double clicking on the entry for DeDRM. You'll see a box like so:
Click on the first entry 'eInk Kindle ebooks' and, in the resulting dialog box, click the + sign and enter the serial number off the back of your Kindle.
Double check the serial number; any discrepancy between the serial number in the book file and the plugin will lead to decryption failure.
Downloading Your Books via the Kindle for PC App: If instead you have sent your Kindle books to Kindle for PC, and we strongly recommend this method because it's so easy, you can find the locally stored books in the following directory:

C:Users[Your Windows Username]DocumentsMy Kindle Content

Each Kindle book you import to Kindle for PC will have two companion files (.MBP and .PHL files); you can ignore the extraneous file types. Books will also have odd names, like 'B001QTXLQ4_EBOK'. Don't worry the proper name and author data are stored in the files. This technique is nice because you can snatch all your books in one swoop and dump them into Calibre. Simply select all the actual book files (all the .AZW, .TPZ, and .MOBI files) and dump them right into Calibre to import them.
Now, Calibre will import any ebook file (DRM-laden or DRM-free) without a hiccup. The real test of whether or not the import-and-strip process has worked properly is to try and convert the book into a new format. Right click on the entry for the new book and select Convert Books -> Convert Individually. This will pull up the conversion menu. Convert it to any other format, it doesn't matter which.
If the book's DRM hasn't been properly removed, you'll get an error like this:
Now, this error does not necessarily mean that the DeDRM plugin isn't working properly. If you're loading books off your physical Kindle and you entered the serial number wrong in the DeDRM configuration, the process would fail like this. If you tried to add Kindle books that you're not the actual owner of, it will also fail.
Load the books from the proper source, however, and the process starts successfully.
This blog has been supporting eBook Readers for a year and many DRM Removal methods were explained separated with each plugin in a single article. So, now, there is a simpler way to remove DRM from mostly any eBook extension with only one ultimate Calibre DRM Removal plugin.

Install DeDRM to Calibre

It is so easy to install Plugins to Calibre but there is something that you should consider when you are installing an Unofficial Calibre Plugins (which is the plugin we use to strip DRM).
Actually, I wrote a full tutorial post on How to install a plugin to Calibre successfully. After you install DeDRM Plugin to Calibre you should configure it, please consider looking at the bottom paragraph before visiting tutorial link for a short answer.
To make story shot, go to (Calibre > Preferences > Plugins > Load Plugin From File) and browse for the DeDRM plugin file to install it. Please makre sure not to click on 'Get Plugins to Enhance Calibre) as it reserved for official ones only, and you should be fine to proceed to the next step.

Configure DeDRM Plugin

In most cases, you will not even need to configure anything, once you install and run the DeDRM Plugin it will use current information on your PC to find location of your DRM Encryption Keys and Installation Folders for: Amazon Kindle For PC OR Adobe Digital Editions (on Windows and Mac OS).

So, go ahead and proceed to the next step (

only get back if you face trouble), well. If you for some reason couldn't get it working then go and configure it manually by navigating to the (Preferences> Advanced> Plugins) and look for the DeDRM Plugin under 'File Type'.

Highlight the DeDRM Plugin and click (Customize plugin).

Move your mouse to highlight the plugin (DeDRM under the 'File type plugins' category) and click on the 'Customize Plugin' button and a dialog will appear like the Picture Below.

Choose a configuration method.

This dialog contains a set of buttons describing different type and sources of eBook. Regarding to the type of your eBooks, you will need to click on the corresponding button to your eBook Format and enter the required information in the sub-dialog that will pop up.
Once you have given the required information for configuration, click on the 'OK' button in the main dialog to save your settings and you will be ready to remove the DRM from your eBooks. The type of information you will need to provide the plugin with is about billing and serial numbers
