Re: Download DRM Tools Archive


 
In trying to download working executables or code... basically the files I need I suspected I needed to go to the following, but at each location it says the files were not found. Are there updates now or is there a different location and these are the wrong files to find the plugins for Calibre to transfer ebooks between systems eg. my kindle and my android tablet

Thanks

Hi, guys! I can't but quote helf and playfuldog, the latest version available for download is 2.6, but it is not working with Kindle for PC 1.8.3 due to Amazon changes to the new version. If someone could help uploading again the latest version of the DRM Tools Archive, it would be so great!

Hi, guys! It's always me. While we're waiting for an official re-upload of the DRM Tools Archive, I'd like to make my contribution as far as it concerns to the ones interested in the Calibre DRM Plugins Suite.
I found a torrent here, with containing fairly updated ones: http://kat.ph/ebook-drm-removal-tool...t5923526.html#

I also uploaded them to some ddlink mirrow, the zip password is "I love Calibre" (without the "):
Code:

http://************/dl/146814273/335a517/Calibre_Plugins.zip.html (hotfile dot com)
http://www.mediafire.com/?zod4amouxwdxxuw

_

Inside you'll find:
Code:

17/02/2012  11.36            13.530 eReaderPDB2PML_v05_plugin.zip
17/02/2012  11.36            6.993 ignobleepub_v01.6_plugin.zip
17/02/2012  11.36            11.351 ineptepub_v01.7_plugin.zip
17/02/2012  11.36            22.223 ineptpdf_v01.4_plugin.zip
17/02/2012  11.35            49.841 K4MobiDeDRM_v03.7_plugin.zip
17/02/2012  11.36            2.704 README-eReaderPDB2PML-plugin.txt
17/02/2012  11.36            3.952 README-Ignobleepub-plugin.txt
17/02/2012  11.36            3.704 README-Ineptepub-plugin.txt
17/02/2012  11.36            3.696 README-Ineptpdf-plugin.txt
17/02/2012  11.36            2.762 README-K4MobiDeDRM-plugin.txt

Unluckily such version of the plugin is still unable to handle Kindle for PC 1.8.3 downloaded eBooks, yet although I'ven't tried it, I guess it can manage to fix the DRM up to some 1.6.X version.
While waiting for a more updated version, is there anyone that tried it and managed to figure out up to what version of Kindle for PC is supported?

I hope it's not a problem I post it here, but seems the most updated version of the tools Archive is hosted here:

Code:

http://apprenticealf.wordpress.com/2010/02/11/hello-world/
I feel quite shameless it took me so long to find it out!
Anyway as to beg pardon I'll add my own mirrow for the latest version currently online, the v 4.8:

Code:

http://www.mediafire.com/?a2fxd0rojrr68rk
@Update:
As of now I really had a bunch of troubles using the Calibre Plugins. It seems they have some problem managing some kind of DRM...
Instead the KindleBooks phyton application works incredible! I really recommend it to everyone is experiencing any problem.
For the ones that doesn't know about Phyton programming language, first go here:

Code:

http://www.activestate.com/activepython/downloads
Download the latest version of Active Python, and Install it making sure you choose to install the Win32 Shell Extension.
Then Unzip the KindleBooks folder inside the Tools Archive, open it and double-click on the "KindleBooks.pyw" file.
The Python application will load and it will automatically work without the need of any PID if you've Kindle for PC installed and you're trying to deDRM files downloaded with it.

Hope it helps, Bye.

I need help. I am NOT good at learning new programs, but I managed to find the tools zip file, download it, and add the K4MobiDeDRM plugin to my Calibre, but while installing it gave me the "invalid PID" error message even though it hadn't asked for a PID. So how do I:

- give the plugin the PID (which I assume is the serial #) of the Kindle the file is coded for? I have K4PC installed but I figured it would be be easier to get the serial # of the actual Kindle

- tell Calibre to strip the DRM from the file

I am not techie and need simple "type this, click here" directions. If there is a "strip DRM for dummies" post somewhere, I would be thrilled to know where.

Jhack, thanks so much. You write simple, clear, basic instructions that even I can follow, and I was able to strip the DRM from some of my Amazon books using Python. (Most of them I don't bother with, but I have a few that I was thrilled to be able to buy and really don't want to take the chance of Amazon pulling them!)

I never did figure out how to strip it in Calibre, but I guess it doesn't matter.

Re: Download DRM Tools Archive


 
I need to get rid of this DRM, its driving me nuts. All i want is to be able to use the books i have bought, yes bought as in paid money for, in the way i choose. I had no idea it was so complicated. I'm sure the guide in the first post is understood by most follk here, but i can't make head nor tail of it. Pretty please, can someone provide me a complete dummy's guide in 1,2,3 format. So that i can sort out my ebooks once and for all. Would really appreciate it. I have calibre, thats as far as i've got!!!!

Massive thanks

DeDRM just doesn't work. Although it does say that the DRM was removed, Calibre says the ebook has DRM and therefor cannot convert the book. Any ideas? I need that book printed asap...

Re: Download DRM Tools Archive


 
I tried the drag-and-drop python app on Windows, no success. I've tried the plugin for Calibre, didn't work. Tried the python applescript that seemed to work but calibre still complained about the DRM. I'm on my dream holiday, first time in Latin America and rather than enjoying it, I spend hours every day trying to make this thing work. Considering that all I want is just to share a book with my mother in law. Will I ever get help? Why write code if it doesn't work or there's no help? Anyone there?
