Buy ebooks from a PC, not from your iPad. Then remove DRM protection and transfer your books to your iPad. If you buy an ebook from your iPad, you will need to re-download it to remove DRM on your PC.

All DRM removal tools stop working from time to time, so there are no ideal shops.

B&N works fine. All ADEPT epub and pdf shops work without problems. I have for Amazon Kindle books no experience - does the iPad read Mobi/Amazon ebooks?

Amazon offers Kindle 4 iPad and iPhone apps.

I seem to be having a fairly unique problem....

I can run and get a key absolutely fine - however when I run the ineptepub.pyw no input box appears.
When I run it through Python and look at the log, I get the error message
"AttributeError: function 'd2i_RSAPrivateKey' not found"

Even stranger is that when I use the ineptpdf.pyw it all works fine.

I am using;

Python 2.6.6
Pycrypto 2.1.0 (for 2.6)
ineptepub 5.2

Anyone got any ideas on why this won't work?!

Cheers

What version of ineptkey do you use? Do you use Python 2.6.6 x32 and PyCrypto 2.1.0 x32? Have you tried an older version of ineptepub?

I have no idea what I've just done, but it works like a charm. I just followed the instructions (and used the last program versions).

Vista users should run the installation of PyCrypto as administrator.

I don't have ADE installed but Sony's Reader Library. I tested the epubs being DRM free with Firefox add-on ePub-Catalog. Good to know that this How-To works for the newest Sony e-reader (PRS-350) as well.

Piracy is wrong, but DRM is evil! Now I'm in control of the digital content I bought and should be able to use freely.

Thanks to the community for making this possible.

Argh! I too am getting the error "File name in directory and header differ. I tried unzipping and rezipping with epub zip, as previously suggested, but when I run ineptepub_v5.2.pyw on the new epub, I get the error that it is not an Adept Epub. I thought that maybe just the act of unzipping and rezipped with epub zip might have removed the DRM, but I checked and it is not so.

Tried with several different books.

Any fixes or suggestions?
