I have no great knowledge of encryption systems. I don’t know much about Python. But I’ve done my best to make the Dark Reverser’s, IHeartCabbage’s, Bart Simpson’s, CMBDTC’s, and others’ work more useful. And now here’s a blog where I hope to pull together links to the latest versions of various decryption code. Comments and links welcome!
I hope that everyone uses these dedrm tools only for personal access to the ebooks they have bought. Large scale distribution of dedrmed ebooks is not a good idea. No help will be given to anyone doing so.
An archive (tools_v5.0.zip) containing the Python scripts, DeDRM apps, and Calibre plugins for Mobipocket (.prc/.mobi), Kindle Mobipocket (.azw), Kindle Topaz (.tpz/.azw1), Kindle Print Replica (.azw4), Adobe ePub (.epub), Adobe PDF (.pdf), B&N ePub (.epub), B&N/Fictionwise eReader (.pdb) as mentioned in the Dark Reverser’s blog & in this blog can be found here:

Thanks to some_updates and DiapDealer for putting this together. The archive contains ReadMe files for all the tools.

As time goes on, the number of comments here increases, making it hard for new readers to know what’s relevant. So I’m going to be trimming the comments (and sometimes my posts!) every so often, removing threads which have raised issues that have been solved by current versions of the tools.
If you’ve found this post through a google search, do check out the full blog which contains separate posts on the various dedrm tools available. Check the posts and the comments — your question might already have been answered. Also, do check the ReadMe files in the tools archive.

***Before*** posting comments that report issues with the tools, please make sure you are using the very latest version of the tools (at this time it is version 5.0), and that you have fully read our FAQ which answers the most common questions and issues (it is not long!).
In any bug report or help request include which tool was used, which OS you are using, where the ebook file came from (device or folder), any exact error messages (include the calibredb add command output if it is a plugin), and any other relevant version information.
