How to remove DRM from ebooks

[any ANONYMOUS forum user]

There are a number of different book formats with their own drm and the steps to remove that drm only exist for a subset of them, and depend on which format.

So, first ask yourself the following – Why am I trying to remove the DRM? If it is to make anything other than personal use backup copies or to convert it so that your specific reading device can read it, then no one here will be willing to help.

Assuming you just want to convert for your specific reader and for fair use backup then …

1. Most of the conversion tools are written in python and the version of python you need plus the libraries depend on platform. I would look for python 2.6 and get the appropriate version of python for your platform (For both x32 and x64 versions of Windows I recommend to use Pythong x32) and install it and make sure it works. There are links to where to find platform for your platform (for Mac OSX it is already installed) in many places on the web.
   
2. Then download and install calibre (which is written in python) and it will handle almost any conversion you need once the DRM has been removed (google is your friend – so just search for it).
   
3. Then determine which format of e-book you have:
   
   1. Remove DRM from .ePub ebook with Adobe Digital editions DRM using ineptkey.pyw and ineptepub.pyw
      
   2. Remove DRM from .ePub ebook from Barnes & Noble (B&N)
      
   3. Remove DRM from eReader .pdb ebook using erdr2pml
      
   4. Remove DRM from Mobipocket ebooks using mobidedrm.py
      
   5. if you have the old Sony DRM files, then you are pretty much out of luck cause they were never broken (and probably never will be since Sony has given up on them in favor of Adobe Digital editions DRM-protected ePub files). Your best bet is to get on the new Sony store and download ePub versions of those files if you still can.
      
   6. How to remove DRM from Amazon Kindle Original ebook using kindlefix.py and kindlepid.py and the mobidedrm.py.
      How to remove DRM from Topaz .AZW1 ebooks
      Removing DRM protection from Kindle for PC ebooks using unswindle
      Remove DRM from KindleForPC ebooks using skindle
      DeDRM AppleScript for Mac OS X
   7. Remove DRM from PDF ebooks
   8. How to remove DRM from MS Reader (.LIT ebooks)
   9. There are still other file formats (Lit, etc) that exist and there may or may not be drm solutions for those formats. I have pretty much fouced only on the current popular ones above. I am sure others can point you in the right directions.
4. As you can see, the various players in the ebook world, have made a huge mess of things and these companies will now fight a 2 to 3 year war to see who will win in the end. This is the fun part to watch how long it takes the publishing industry to realize that the whole paradigm has to change and that they need to move with it and not fight it and make the change first!
   
5. Most of the tools are not easy to use if you are not familiar with using the command line (although some nice people have packaged up some of these into more user friendly versions).
   
6. No one is going to provide you with step by step directions most probably. You must be willing to go out and experiment and try things.
   
7. Please understand, that in some countries, removing the DRM is against the law (or at least the publishers claim this). Others view DRM removal as allowed under "fair use" to make backups and to move your books to other formats. But this has never been tested in court and no one here wants to be a test subject …
   
   SO DON'T USE THESE PROGRAMS TO STEAL.

That is the overview anyway.

How to remove DRM from ebooks on Windows

The simplest way for Windows users to remove the DRM from their ebooks is to use calibre and the dedrm Calibre plugins. See the post below.

If you don’t want to use Calibre, for whatever reason, there are other ways to use the dedrm tools to remove DRM from your ebooks, including an all in one DeDRM Drag and Drop tool. However, all of them require you to install Python first, as Windows does not come with Python built-in. You will also need to install some encryption software that works with Python: PyCrypto.

Installing Python on Windows
I recommend installing ActiveState’s Active Python, Community Edition for Windows (x86) 32 bits. This is a free, full version of the Python.

1. Download ActivePython 2.7.1 for Windows (x86) (or later 2.7 version for Windows (x86) ) from http://www.activestate.com/activepython/downloads. Do not download the ActivePython 2.7.1 for Windows (64-bit, x64) verson, even if you are running 64-bit Windows.
2. When it has finished downloading, run the installer. Accept the default options.

Installing PyCrypto on Windows
PyCrypto is a set of encryption/decryption routines that work with Python. The sources are freely available, and compiled versions are available from several sources. You must install a version that is for 32-bit Windows and Python 2.7. I recommend the installer linked from Michael Foord’s blog.

1. Download PyCrypto 2.1 for 32bit Windows and Python 2.7 from http://www.voidspace.org.uk/python/m...shtml#pycrypto
2. When it has finished downloading, unzip it. This will produce a file “pycrypto-2.1.0.win32-py2.7.exe”.
3. Double-click “pycrypto-2.1.0.win32-py2.7.exe” to run it. Accept the default options.

You now have Python and PyCrypto installed on your computer, and you can use the Python scripts contained in the large 7z file of dedrm tools.

Download the tools 7z file, unpack it (You may need to install freeware 7zip first), and follow the instructions in the readme files in the appropriate folder. Nearly all the tools are in the form of python scripts that will run with a user interface when you double-click them (.pyw files). There is no need to open a command window.

DeDRM_WinApp_v1.2.zip
DeDRM_WinApp is is an easy to use all in one Drag and Drop tool written in python that has the same functionality as the DeDRM Mac OS X tool described in another post. There is a ReadMe file inside the tools zip archive that explains how to install and use this tool.

Kindle and Mobipocket ebooks
Use the KindleBooks tool in the KindleBooks_Tools folder. This will remove the DRM from ebooks downloaded to Kindle ereaders, Kindle for PC, and also older Mobipocket ebooks. The Kindle_4_PC_Unswindle tool is only included in the tools because it’s useful for Linux users. It is not needed for Windows users.

ePub and PDF ebooks downloaded to Adobe Digital Editions

1. Use the ineptkey tool first. This is found in both Adobe_ePub_Tools and Adobe_PDF_Tools. You only need to run it once, and it creates an adeptkey.der file that you will need to use with the other tools.
2. Use the ineptepub tool from the Adobe_ePub_Tools folder to remove the DRM from ePubs downloaded to Adobe Digital Editions.
   
   Use the ineptpdf tool from the Adobe_PDF_Tools folder to remove the DRM from PDFs downloaded to Adobe Digital Editions.

ePub ebooks from Barnes & Noble (for Nook)

1. Use the ignoblekeygen tool from the Barnes_and_Noble_ePub_Tools folder. You only need to run it one, and it creates a bnepubkey.b64 file that you will need to use with the other tool.
2. Use the ignobleepub tool from the Barnes_and_Noble_ePub_Tools folder to remove the DRM from ePubs from Barnes and Noble

eReader ebooks from Barnes and Noble and elsewhere (e.g. fictionwise)

1. Use the eReaderPDB2PML tool from the eReader_PDB_Tools folder to remove the DRM from eReader ebooks, generating a PML file (& a folder of images)
2. Get DropBook for Windows from eReader.com
3. Use DropBook to compile the PML file (& folder of images) back into an eReader file.

Microsoft LIT Ebooks
Use the ConvertLit application (not a python script) from http://www.convertlit.com/

How to remove DRM using Calibre plug-ins

1. You must already be able read your ebooks, either on your computer or on your ebook reader. (Kindle, Nook, etc.) If you cannot read your ebooks on your computer or on your ebook reader, you won’t be able to remove the DRM. Contact your ebook retailer and sort out any problems reading your ebooks before trying to remove the DRM.
2. Download and install calibre for your Operating System.
3. Download the latest DRM tools package, and unpack it.
4. Run Calibre. Click Preferences. Click Plug-ins.
5. Click on the large “Add a new plugin” button
6. Navigate to the tools folder unzipped in step 2
7. Open the Calibre_Plugins folder
8. Select one of the zip files in that folder
9. Click on Add
10. Click on the “Yes” button in the warning dialog that appears. A Confirmation dialog appears that the plug-in has been installed.
11. Repeat steps 4 to 9 for every zip file in the Calibre_Plugins folder (five at present).
12. You must now configure the plugins. Which plugins need configuring, and the information you need to enter depends on what kind of ebooks you have. If your ebooks don’t match the description at the start of any of the following items, ignore it and move on to the next.
    
    To configure a plugin, you must find it in the list of plugins. All the DRM removal plugins are in the File type plugins section of the Plugins section of the calibre prefereces. Click on the plugin in the list to select it, and then click on the Customize plugin button. In the dialog that then pops up, enter the required information, detailed below.
    1. If you have Mobipocket ebooks, where you either entered a PID on the retailer’s web site, or you must read them in Mobipocket Reader, you must enter the PID you entered on the retailer’s web site, or the PID of your installation of Mobipocket Reader into the customisation field of the K4MobiDeDRM plugin. The PID will be ten numbers and letters, with * or $ as the eighth character. If you have more than one PID, enter them separated by commas,
    2. If you have Amazon Kindle ebooks that were downloaded to your Kindle, you must enter your Kindle’s serial number into the customisation field of the K4MobiDeDRM plugin. If you have already entered a PID there, add the Kindle serial number as well, separating it from the PID with a comma.
    3. If you have Amazon Kindle ebooks that were downloaded to the copy of Kindle for Mac or Kindle for PC that was installed on this computer, you do not need to add anything extra into the customisation fields.
    4. If you have ePub ebooks that can be read in Adobe Digital Editions, you do not need to add anything extra into the customisation fields.
    5. If you have PDF ebooks that can be read in Adobe Digital Editions, you do not need to add anything extra into the customisation fields.
    6. If you have ePub ebooks from Barnes & Noble (e.g. for Nook), you must enter your name and full credit card number into the customisation field of the Ignoble Epub DeDRM plugin. The name and credit card number should be the ones set as part of the Credit Card unlock code on your Nook Library page. Separate the name from the number with a comma and do not put any spaces in the card number or around the comma.
    7. If you have eReader ebooks from Barnes & Noble, or from, say, Fictionwise, your must enter your name and the last 8 digits of your credit card number into the customisation field of the eReader PDB 2 PML plugin. Again, the name and credit card number must be the ones entered at your ebook retailer’s website as the DRM key/Unlock code.
    8. If you have ebooks bought at the Apple iBooks store, it is not currently possible to remove the DRM.
    9. If you have Microsoft LIT ebooks, there is no Calibre plugin that can remove the DRM.
13. Now click on the Apply button, and then close the preferences.

You’re now ready to remove the DRM from your ebooks. Just import them into calibre, and the DRM will be removed. The plugins ONLY remove the DRM when the ebooks are imported. If you have already imported your ebooks into calibre, your will need to remove them and import them again.

Converting to other formats
Calibre will convert your ebooks for you, once they have had the DRM removed.

where can i find ActivePython 2.7.1

??

no old version found on google search engine ?

fast help needed thank you ..

We all know that iBooks eBooks are encrypted by FairPlay DRM technology. As for removing DRM from iBooks, I'm using a powerful iBooks DRM removal tool, called TunesKit iBook Copy for Mac, which can remove DRM from iBooks eBooks. And then, you can convert these DRM-free files to any non-Apple e-readers.
