I thank them all, and hope that someone will always step up to continue the work. 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, the plug-in doesn't work in tandem with the manual conversion feature in Calibre, it has to be during the import of the files. 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. Calibre DRM Removal Plugin, known as Alfs DeDRM Plugin tool, is developed to remove DRM from eBooks, including Kindle, Kobo and Adobe DRM. Stripping the DRM and file conversion to EPUB happens immediately after I transfer my books from my kindle. 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.)Īs I recall, the first was "The Dark Reverser" who release a python script for removing DRM from Mobipocket ebooks. DeDRM Plugin (v6.3.0) This plugin removes DRM from ebooks when they are imported into calibre. I feel like I need to find some way to thank Apprentice Alf for all his work. View DeDRMHelp.htm from IS MISC at University of Melbourne. Thanks for the clarification I inadvertently added an extra layer of confusion.
