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

Then download ineptkey.pyw version 5 and ineptepub.pyw version 5.2 (see the first post of the thread) and try again.

If you remove DRM protection, you will be able to convert your ebook to other formats using software like freeware Calibre

Hey, it worked!!! I have just one more question. I think I read that I can do a whole folder, and not just one file at a time. I tried it and I got an error:

"Error: [Errno 13] Permission denied: 'C:\\Documents and Settings\\USER\\My Documents\\My Books\\Reader Library'

I had my Input file:
C:\Documents and Settings\USER\My Documents\My Books\Reader Library

Output File:
C:\Documents and Settings\USER\My Documents\My free ebooks

What did I do wrong?

Sorry, I just reread the whole thread. Before I do it, I want to make sure that aineptepub.pyw will work with ineptkey.pyw version 5. What (if it matters) version of that aineptepub.pyw should I look for? Do you have a good link to it?

Try aineptepub.pyw version 4.1. The link is in one of the first posts of this thread:

AFAIK DRM can only be removed on a computer which was used to download your ebooks.

Some patience and perseverance and you will be able to do it.

I have one more quick question now that I have freed my Sony books. Is there a different process if I were to start buying Kindle books?

1. There are Kindle readers, Kindle4PC, Kindle4iphone
2. Different formats
3. Different DRM removal software

I would be buying the books on my iPad. Since you obviously know way more than me, where would you suggest I buy them? It looks like Amazon and B&N have the biggest selection of books. Would I be able to buy books on my iPad from either of these and then remove make them so that I can read it on any of my readers?
