How to remove DRM from sony ebooks (BBeB and EPUB) with ineptkey.pyw, inepepub.pyw

Re: How to remove DRM from sony ebooks (BBeB and EPUB)

 

Thank you for this very informative thread. I have a PRS700 with many hundreds of epubs bought from Sony USA store. I want to upgrade to the new PRS650 available here in Japan, but unfortunately they run natively on XMDF and only support non-DRM epubs - so I need to liberate my library to read them on the new reader.

I have installed Python 2.7.1 but am having difficulty installing PCCrypto (pycrypto-2.1.0.win32-py2.7.exe). The windows installer detects Python 2.7 correctly, but then the install aborts - error message is "pycrypto-2.1.0.win32-py2.7.exe has stopped working. A problem has caused this program to stop working. Windows will close this program" and that's it.

Can anyone suggest why? I'm running Win7 32bit. Thanks for your help

Try to install Python 2.6 and PyCrypto for Python 2.6 (or Python 2.7 and PyCrypto for Python 2.7).

Never mind, I just downloaded Python 2.6 x32 and PyCrypto for Python 2.6. That all work together seamlessly. All fixed, and the script runs on a whole directory of files, so I have successfully liberated all my Sony store epubs - hooray! Thanks anyway for all the very useful background and understanding of the process.

New to ebooks. Bought an ebook from iTunes and went to put it through Calibre to read on my Kindle. Has DRM and wouldn't convert. Its crazy that I paid for this and cannot read it on the viewer of my choice. How do I remove the DRM from a epub on a Mac so I can convert it in Calibre to a mobi? Thanks.

Read the thread from the beginning.

I did. I am on a Mac. I got the latest version of DeDRM 1.7 but it won't remove the DRM from the epub book I bought on iTunes. Don't know where to go from here.

Download DRM Tools Archive from:

And try to use a Calibre plug-in first.

I have a few files that are 'BBeB Secure Books' with file names of cbuscehch02c3t0j and so forth which come up in Sony Reader when I open them. I have successfully used the method above to remove DRM from my ePUB books but how do remove the protection from my BBeBs? Thanks in advance.

EDIT

Figured it out, how to re-download my old files from the eReader Library in the new ePUB format. Once that was done, easily converted. Thanks for the super easy directions!
