While it’s being installed, go to the Apprentice Alf website and download the ZIP file full of plugins. Install the apps one at a time (and set up your account with the K4PC app, if you haven’t already). And K4PC is how you’ll download the ebooks. I’ve mentioned it once or twice, and that’s what you’re going to use to remove the DRM.
If you have either of them then you do not need to install them again:Ĭalibre is of course the ebook library management tool. You need to download and install these apps on your computer. ( Kobo is a separate process.) If you’ve followed my instructions for removing Nook DRM then you’ve already finished the process of setting up to strip Kindle DRM, and you can skip to the end of this post. Luckily for you, you only have to go through the set up process once in order to remove Kindle, Nook, and Adobe DE DRM. Once you’ve installed the plugin, all you have to do is find where Kindle4PC put the ebooks on your computer and drag each ebook into calibre (everything else is automatic). Here’s the short-short version: You need to get the DeDRM plugin from Apprentice Alf and install it in calibre (and reboot calibre). But I also believe in controlling the content I buy and that is why I strip the DRM. I did not write it to assist in committing piracy I believe in buying content, when possible.
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.
Update: These instructions were updated on 11 July 2015.
