Version 6.5.1 released on 12 August, 2016
Welcome to Apprentice Alf’s blog
This blog is intended to help anyone looking for free and simple software for removing DRM from their Kindle ebooks, stripping DRM from their Adobe Digital Editions ebooks, getting rid of DRM from their Barnes and Noble ebooks, freeing their Kobo ebooks of DRM, or decrypting their Fictionwise eReader ebooks.
If you want to find out more about ebooks, DRM and why you will probably want to remove the DRM from your ebooks, see this post: Ebook Formats, DRM and You — A Guide for the Perplexed.
If you already know that you want to strip the DRM from your ebooks, you’ve found the right place.
The Tools
To get started on removing DRM from your ebooks, just download the tools archive from the link below. Unzip the archive, and start reading.
The latest release can be found at the top of this page:
https://github.com/apprenticeharper/DeDRM_tools/releases
Getting Help with the Tools
If you have any questions about the tools, ebooks and DRM, check my FAQs post: Frequently Asked Questions about the DRM removal tools.
If you have any problems with the current tools, please ask for help in a comment on this post. If you are having a problem with an older version of the tools, please first update to the current version, and see if that solves your problem.
Before commenting here, please check the ReadMe file and the FAQs (see link above).
In any bug report or help request, please include:
- which tool was used
- which OS you are using
- where the ebook file came from (device or folder)
- any error messages
- a log of the DRM-removal attempt (see the FAQs on how to get a log).
Anti-Piracy Notice
Please only use this application for gaining full access to your own ebooks for archiving/converson/convenience. De-drmed ebooks should not be uploaded to open servers, torrents, or other methods of mass distribution. No help will be given to people doing such things. Authors, retailers and publishers all need to make a living, so that they can continue to produce books for us to read. Don’t be a parasite.
Origin of the Tools
The tools for removing DRM from ePubs were originally posted at i♥cabbages’ blog. The tools for Kindle/Mobipocket were originally posted at The Dark Reverser’s blog.
They have since been improved by many people, but mostly some_updates, DiapDealer, Apprentice Alf, and Apprentice Harper. While there are many sites that redistribute these tools, the most up-to-date versions of the tools are currently released here.
Other Sources
Anyone trying to sell you ebook DRM removal tools for Adobe Adept ePub and PDFs, Barnes & Noble ePubs, Kindle ebooks, Kobo ebooks, or eReader ebooks has probably just repackaged (an earlier) version of the tools available here.
My solution for Linux: enter the Kindle ID and the Adobe ID into DRM plugin Calibre configuration. Kindle ID can be found in the device (Menu or Home, whatever), and Adobe ID in Windows Calibre configuration, if you’ve get one (export it into your cloud or into a pendrive, then reimport it into your Linux Calibre). I have a 2nd generation Kindle, and I was unable to install Kindle for PC under Wine. Mi Adobe version is 2.01.
I can’t find a “Kindle ID” on my Kindle. In the deviceinfo I see only a wifi mac and serial number… could someone point out where to find the Kindle ID exactly?
I think he’s referring to the serial number. That is what you enter into the DeDRM customization if you’re importing files from (or for) an E-ink Kindle.
Just as an FYI to Obok users:
The changes to book encryption in Kobo Desktop version 4.0.x appear to be somewhat more involved than the last few times when they just changed the key derivation salt – there’s a separate wholly encrypted database for books now. So, it may take a bit longer than what we’ve recently gotten used to until Obok can support these latest app changes, but I’m sure we’ll get there eventually.
Thanks for the clarification, Kobok. And sincere thanks to all the Apprentices, for your efforts and generosity with your time. It’s so very much appreciated.
Just so you know: I was able to get the current obok plugin to work by installing an old version of the Kobo desktop app (I found one via Google at http://kobo-desktop.soft32.com/old-version/) and turning off my laptop wireless while the app was launching to prevent it from checking for the app update. After the app was up, I re-enabled wireless and I was able to login with it and sync my Kobo library into it; Calibre could then access that library and de-DRM the test book I’d bought.
I didn’t really expect that to work, but it did. 😉
Thanks for the plugin, by the way; adding another vendor I can buy books from without being stuck with a device/app lockin will really expand my reading.

I personally use ADE to download my Kobo books, but I like that there’s another way to get them if necessary.
Slightly odd partial problem here. I’ve been happily using Calibre for years (Mac) and for some reason the DRM wasn’t removed from Amazon books today. I downloaded the azw3 files via “Manage Your Content… etc” page on Amazon and it won’t play nice. It also wouldn’t work with the standalone DeDRM app.
However, I was able to get them into Calibre and convert them to epub (so I can use them in Marvin, my preferred e-reader for my iPad) by going via the Kindle for Mac app and digging them out of the container folder. So, I have a workaround – but it used to be a bit easier and I wonder if anyone has any idea of where it is borked.
Here is the log from when it doesn’t work and won’t convert. I’ve reinstalled Calibre and plug-ins to no avail. Thank you for any advice.

Have you made sure that the serial number of the E-Ink device for which you are downloading the books from the web site has been entered in to the plugin’s preferences?
Thanks Paul. And there it is! I feel like a right clown now. There are about half a dozen Kindles in our family and I’ve just discovered there was one that had escaped the plugin preferences. That was the one it was downloaded to in Amazon – problem fixed. Thanks for taking the time and I will go away to put a cold flannel on my red face.
Hi
I cant get the books to drm in Calibre . Ive tried everything. Heres the log as requested. Can you help??

If the book is from/for an E-ink Kindle, then you need to enter its serial number into the plugin customization. Otherwise, install Kindle for PC and import your book from there.
Many thanks. I suddenly realised after reading the other post too that the serial number was missing. Appreciate the help!Working fine now.

calibre.ebooks.DRMError: 55 Contes et Nouvelles d’Anatole France (French Edition)
Thanks for your efforts
There’s a known bug that causes DeDRM to fail when there’s a special character in the Windows user name. A work-around would be to create a new Windows user without any special characters and install Kindle for PC and calibre with the plugin there.
Thank you for your answer. I tried in the same conditions with my wife’s computer (no special character in the Windows user name) and it worked perfectly.
Many thanks again
I tried to decrypt books, however it didn’t work. I use Adobe Digital Editions 2.0.1.78765 and Calibre Portable 2.63.0. I also tried Calibre 2.67.0, same result. I think the most significant line in here is >>ADEPTError: Failed to decrypt user key key (sic)<<, but I don’t know how to help myself. Can you help? Thanks
Jochy

You authorized ADE with your Adobe ID?
I’m sorry if this has already been addressed, but I can’t figure out how to search tho comments.
I’m running ubuntu 14.04lts on my laptop, and have successfully used de drm after downloading my books with adobe digital editions and kindle. Today when I tried to open my kindle app, it wouldn’t open. I uninstalled, downloaded the latest kindle app version, and tried reinstalling with wine. The dialogue box said that it was unpacking for the installation, but then would close the installer, without having installed the app. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to install the kindle app? Alternatively, is there any other way to download the book to open up in calibre?
Thanks
If you have an E-ink Kindle, you can download your books from the Amazon website. These can be DeDRMed when you enter the Kindle’s serial number into the plugin customization.
I don’t have a kindle, hence my desire to download the kindle books so i can transfer them to my kobo reader.
Does anyone know if DeDRM along with ADE 2.0 will work with EPUB 3 (Adobe DRM) from Kobo.
I recall (correctly I hope) that a previous post mentioned that the current Obok plugin does not work with the new version of the Kobo PC app. I don’t want to buy the book and have no way of DeDRM it. So, please, anyone?
Thanks
There have been reports at MobileRead of that working with no problems for epub 3 files.
Thanks Paul. I’ll check over there to see what they’re saying.
Yes Paul. Thank you very much. It worked!

brashley46@rossdesktop2:~$
The usual problem of Wine not finding the python executable. I think it must be in the FAQs by now.
You need to execute
wine python.exe “/home/brashley46/.config/calibre/plugins/DeDRM/libraryfiles/kindlekey.py” “/home/brashley46/.config/calibre/plugins/DeDRM/libraryfiles/winekeysdir”
somehow.
Hi,
I’m using Windows 10 64 Bit installed with Kindle Desktop. I’m using the latest plugin 6.5.1. Thanks!

This is the first time I tried to dedrm a book since installing Windows 10 and ran into problems. I followed the readme and updated Python and PyCrypto apps. Any helpful suggestions would be much appreciated.
The Readme does not tell you to install Python and PyCrypto if you’re going to be using calibre and the plugin. It won’t hurt to do so, but it won’t help either.
Reading the FAQs will help: https://github.com/apprenticeharper/DeDRM_tools/blob/master/FAQs.md
Especially the very first one about installing the plugin which says:
“I am trying to install the calibre plugin, but calibre says “ERROR: Unhandled exception: InvalidPlugin: The plugin in u’[path]DeDRM_tools_6.4.3.zip’ is invalid. It does not contain a top-level init.py file”
You are trying to add the tools archive (e.g. DeDRM_tools_6.4.3.zip) instead of the plugin. The tools archive is not the plugin. It is a collection of DRM removal tools which includes the plugin. You must unzip the archive, and install the calibre plugin (DeDRM_plugin.zip) from a folder called “DeDRM_calibre_plugin” in the unzipped archive.”
Thank you! I did read the FAQs but I must have been doing it wrong. Finally did get it to and hopefully will work once I customize. Thanks for the help!
Hi,
I could not remove the DRM for a recent purchase from Amazon. I had other Kindle for Mac books and could convert them to DRM free books with DeDRM plug-in. I wonder what went wrong for this one. For info: I have recently upgraded to MacOS El Capitan.
Here’s the log:

Unregister Kindle for Mac. Delete /Users/mingyeungcheung/Library/Containers/com.amazon.Kindle/
Re-register Kindle for Mac. Re-download your book. See if that fixes things.
It solved the problem. Many thanks, Paul!!
Hi Paul,
Since I got a new Windows notebook a couple of months ago, I haven’t been able to strip DRM from Kindle books I’ve bought and downloaded via KIndle for PC. No problems if I download via my Paperwhite. I’ve used Calibre for years and have never encountered this. I have the latest Python and PyCrypto installed. This is the latest debug file:

Does your Windows user name contain any special characters? If so, try creating another user without special characters and installing calibre, the plugin, and Kindle for PC there. If not, then see the FAQs about completely uninstalling Kindle for PC and deleting its associated folders. (You don’t need to have Python or Pycrypto installed if you’re using the plugin on Windows.)
Thanks for your reply, Laura.
The solution hit me in the head when I was following the procedure in the FAQs to deregister Kindle for PC. It turned out I still had the K4PC for my old computer still registered and that’s where newly-purchased books were being sent. /facepalm
I feel silly but at least the problem’s solved.
Cheers.
This is a disappointing piece of software to say the least. Most are having no end of problems with this plugin. I am Win 10/Kindle and Calibre all the latest updates. Followed all the directions and nothing. deleted, re-downloaded, etc., etc., etc. There has to be a better tool out there, or learn to live with DRM. I am not taking half a day dismantling my installations and rebuilding them only to see this app FAIL again. Send me a note when you get it ready for prime time. In the meantime I will use my paypal account for a valid solution.
I’m sorry you had problems. While it might seem from the comments that lots of people have problems, FAR more have no problems at all.
And you have clearly not followed the directions to post a log if you have difficulties.
I’ll chime in as one that’s used the software for 3-4 years now and had no problems. This has been the easiest and best solution I’ve found.
Teresa,
you’re being a bit tough ((way over the top actually) with your comment. I’ve been using this for years and the only problem I’ve had was a silly error this week that was all my fault. Follow the instructions and enjoy. It’s one of the most useful tools available on the Internet in that vast sea of garbage.
Buying a “valid solution” will probably just get you something based on the tools here anyway.
This is a very odd post. I can see finding the software disappointing, this happens with software frequently. However, your statement that “most are having no end of problems” is curious. Have you polled a representative sample of all the users? If you are basing your evaluation of “most” on the content of a blog string devoted to solving problems I think you are making a considerable leap.
I hope you have a better day and do locate a solution that is more to your needs. As for me, I will continue to use these tools as I have for the past several years. If I have another problem, which will make a grand total of TWO, I will come back here for the assistance that is freely offered by as gracious and responsive a group of people I have encountered.
Teresa dear. . .,
Could it be you haven’t read the instructions properly? Like many, many others I’ve been using this tool for quite a while now. The first time I thought what the . .. .? It didn’t work. Well, yes it didn’t work because I did not follow the instructions. A couple years or more later, I can say, there is no other tool like this one. Guess what? It’s free and it even works on Linux -but that’s another story.
Post an output log the the patient and wonderful people who volunteer their time here will help you out.
It’s not the DeDRM software; it is Windows 10. People who have never had problems before with earlier versions of Windows are getting them after downgrading to Windows 10.
And others are having no issues with Windows 10.
I could not be happier with the tools, had a small problem at first but was helped throughout and the problem was resolved. These are wonderful tools and I’m so thankful that a terrible injustice to all of us who love reading and purchase many ebooks has been dealt with.
Bought ebook on Amazon so I could read on my Kindle. The site warned me that I had no devices that could read it but I did not believe it. I am now able to read the book I bought with the Amazon device I use. Thank you for this work.
Conversion once worked then had to reinstall kindle on wine and the newly downloaded book does not convert anymore for DRM issues, even if it opens using kindle.
Here is the log on debug mode. Many thanks for the attention. Best

Hello, I installed the latest version of the DeDRM tools (6.5.1) in Calibre 2.6.8 for Windows 10 (x64). After downgrading my Android Kindle app to version 4.17 I extracted the Android key as explained in the DeDRM help file and installed it. However I can’t remove the protection from a PRC file that I downloaded from the same device. Unfortunately I can’t open the book in the KIndle app for PC because it says that the book is not compatible with it, so I am not stuck. It’s a comics book and frankly reading it on my 7″ tablet is a pain in the ass… I would just like to read it on the PC.
Any suggestions?
Thanks!
I can’t remember when the Android key extraction stopped working. But post an import log and we’ll see if it’s something other than that.
I’m guessing you don’t have an E-ink Kindle. But if so, you can download the book from the website for “transfer via USB.”
When I copy my files from windows explorer to my calibre library, the DRM stays (they aren’t unlocked). Here is the log:

I’m using v04.19 if it helps.
Try using the current version of the combined DeDRM plugin.
I have. It still doesn’t work.
Neither does the windows .bat drop-on target file. The DRM stays.
It you now have the latest DeDRM plugin installed (and the ancient, out-of-date one uninstalled), post an import log.
Once I’ve installed the plugin and entered my customizations, is there a way to back up the customizations so that I can use them if I need to move Calibre to a different computer?
You can go into each customization, highlight the key you want, and save it by clicking on the button on the lower right (looks like a hard drive). Keep in mind that if you save the Kindle for PC/Mac “default_key”, it will only work for books downloaded with the current installation of Kindle for PC/Mac.
Thanks! The button you describe isn’t available for most of my keys. In any case, I found that I could simply re-use a file called dedrm.json and also a file called calibre-adeptkey.der to transfer all of my customizations. Of course, this would not work for Kindle for PC/Mac, which I don’t really use.
