Version 6.6.1 released on 2 June, 2018
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.

Getting Help with the Tools
If you have any questions about the tools, ebooks, and DRM, check the FAQs at the GitHub repository:
https://github.com/apprenticeharper/DeDRM_tools/blob/master/FAQs.md
If you have any problems with the current tools, please ask for help in a comment on this post or open a new issue at the GitHub repository. 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 application)
- 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 these tools for gaining full access to your own ebooks for archiving/conversion/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.
Thanks guys for making this so easy and freely accessible.
hi opp, it’s not working with rentals can you give me any feedback? is it impossible now?
The tools here are intended for purchased books.
Hi there,

What’s the problem here?
Thank you very much for any help!
DRM removal happens on adding the book to calibre, not during conversion. We’d need to see a log of adding the book to find out whether that’s the issue here. This conversion log doesn’t say the problem is DRM, but it could be. Can you open it in the calibre viewer? If so, try using the Kindle Unpack plugin to extract the PDF. If not, post an import log:
https://github.com/apprenticeharper/DeDRM_tools/blob/master/FAQs.md#i-cannot-solve-my-problem-with-the-dedrm-plugin-and-now-i-need-to-post-a-log-how-do-i-do-that
Hi!
Thank you for your help.
Actually, I tried several things to convert this book, including using Kindle for PC version 1.17. With this version I get the book in azw4 format, if I use the current version Kindle for PC, I get the azw format. In both cases, the book gets imported very quick although it contains a lot of pages and I can open the book only in Kindle for PC.
Here is the import log:

Thanks again.
If the book was downloaded with Kindle for PC and has an AZW4 extension after it’s added to calibre, then the DRM is removed. Try Kindle Unpack on that one.
The one that shows an AZW extension still has DRM. Was that one downloaded to a different PC then the one where you have calibre?
Hi! I already tried Kindle Unpack. I got the menu AZW4 there but the submenu of it “Unpack AZW4” is greyed out. So I can’t do anything.
Everything was done on the same computer. Originally I downloaded the file in the current version of Kindle for PC but got an error because of the DRM. Then I read that new files were problematic in the current version, so I uninstalled it and installed Kindle for PC version 1.17 and download the book once again there.
Alright, it’s probably picking up a key left behind by the previous installation of Kindle for PC. See the instructions here for completely uninstalling and reinstalling:

Just noticed you’re using 32-bit calibre. Try 64-bit calibre. Could be a memory issue.
Thank you ! Thank you ! Thank you so much! That was indeed a memory issue! With the 64-bit version everything works great. Amazing! I was about to give up. You made my day. Thumb up!
Glad to hear it!
excellent from drm to kindle!!!!!!
If you’re retrieving your books from the Android NOOK app, the decryption key can be retrieved from “/data/data/bn.ereader/databases/cchashdata.db” on a rooted Android device.
To get the file using adb, connect your device and type “adb root” in your Windows/Linux/whatever command prompt. Then type “adb pull /data/data/bn.ereader/databases/cchashdata.db”. Once you have the file, use the sqlite3 command line tool to retrieve the key. Type “sqlite3 cchashdata.db”. At the database prompt, enter “select hash from cc_hash_data;”. Don’t forget the semicolon.
Is the key different from the one retrieved by URL (the way Nook for PC and the tools get it)? Or the one found in the Nookstudy log? Of course, those ways of finding the key will probably break soon.

Does this pdf have Adobe DRM?
I’m using the DeDRM Windows Aplication, but it’s not working. I’ve followed all the step and I’m positive all the setups I downloaded for it to work are correct. When I drag the epub file that I got from Adobe ADE onto the drag-and-drop bat file, shows a cmd windows that appears and disappears in less then a second. I have a feeling that it didn’t work. I have no idea where the output file is supposed to be either.
When I try to double click on the bat file, it runs and closes right after as well. I’ve tried running as admin and everything. Anyone know what I’m doing wrong?
Both stand-alone apps are having issues right now. I suggest going back to an earlier version of DeDRM or trying the calibre plugin.
Wow. Someone is charging for a ripped off copy of Epubor, which is itself just a GUI wrapper around these tools and calibre.
Ridiculous! Saw it in email, but it looks like Alf has quickly deleted that spammy comment.
thanks for updating; i’ve been using your tool for years now. Any chance in converting .vbk to pdf?
Harper has said he would add Vital Source support if someone was willing to share a solution. See this thread at the GitHub:

Now I’ll go read the FAQ;s it refers to at the bottom of the log 🙂
I think I’m missing something. I installed the Calibre plug-in from the 6.6.1 release, but I see in the FAQ’s that after 6.2 there is a capability to use the B&N log in for later purchases (2014>) authentication, but it isn’t real clear how the email and password are best filled into the fields of the Key box, since the CC field accepts only numbers. Also a little confusing is the version number cited for the later account authentication, as the plug-in version is 6.1, although taken from the 6.6.1 distro. I suppose I’m expecting defined email and password fields in the plug-in.
I read the bit about Calibre and/or the Plug-in not liking single book conversions, so that may be an issue, although the original issue I found was a batch of 13, initially, that was reduced by maybe half by de-selecting duplicates, and finding maybe half not successfully DeDRM’ed. Among the successful ones was one nook book acquired in 2015, and all 12 others from 2012. That raises two questions, for me, one being how to best fill the Key fields for email/password, and at what point in the que is the DeDrm plug-n susceptible to the low numbers glitch?
Yeah, that’s definitely not the current version of DeDRM. Left over from a previous install? I suggest removing that, restarting calibre, loading the current plugin, and restarting calibre again before trying to configure it.
I have a kindle book that I have downloaded from amazon by choosing the “for transfer via USB” option. I am using Calibre with DeDRM 6.6.1. but it is not removing the DRM. Here is the log file:

Thank you!
You need to enter the serial number of the Kindle for which you downloaded it into the plugin’s preferences.
Can you walk me through how to enter the serial number into the plugin’s preferences? I am not sure if I did it right. This is what I did:
In Calibre I chose Preferences>Plugins>File type plugins>DeDRM (6.6.1) I double clicked on this which opened the configuration menu. The only option that allowed me to enter a serial number was eInk Kindle Books. I entered the serial number in and saved everything. I then imported the book but DRM was not removed.
When I looked at the help file under eInk Kindle Books it said that Fire HD does not use the serial number for DRM. My device is a Fire HD 6.
You need to have an E-ink Kindle (ie Paperwhite, Oasis…, not a Fire) to DeDRM books downloaded from the website. Otherwise, you can use Kindle for PC.
Hi, On the high Sierra, it doesnt open the latest version.
And the preview version 5.3.1, when I enter the Serial Numer for a Kindle, it says is wrong, it must be 16 digit and starting with B.
Mine is 16 digit, but its not starting with B, and this is the serial from my kindle
how do I manage?
Use the latest calibre and plugin instead. The Mac stand-alone seems to be broken.
I’ve seen someone say the previous version (6.6.0) worked for them. There’s also a comment here about getting the latest version to open:
https://github.com/apprenticeharper/DeDRM_tools/issues/505#issuecomment-396103048
Although there might be other issues. Like Paul, I’d recommend using calibre and the plugin instead.
I just did an upgrade on my Kobo desktop, and OKOB isn’t seeing my latest purchase.
And the book was definitely downloaded?
It was. I decided to delete it and put it in my archive, then start over, and that seems to have solved the problem.. I just panicked because of the timing of the two events, I guess. Thanks, anyway.
Glad to hear!
Please help! I’m trying to get the drm off of a newer amazon file, and the plugin just won’t install. I’m so annoyed. I want to share the book with my husband, but amazon won’t allow me to lend it. I don’t want his phone logged into my amazon account to access the book, because, honestly, who really wants to do that? Please help! — here’s the log from calibre:

Thank you, thank you, thank you!!! It finally worked last night!!! :happy dance:
Hey Apprentice Alf!
THANKYOU!THANKYOU!!THANKYOU!!!THANKYOU!!!! I was able to get ALL of my Kobo books (over 4,400) into Calibre and “convert” them and read them on my tablet in my favorite reading app!!!!!! I have been trying for a couple of YEARS to do this, so YOU ARE THE BESTEST OF THE BEST!!!!!!!
Thank you again!!!!!!!
Nook: DRM no longer converted with the July nook app update?
B&N stopped PC & Mac Nook app support last week (July 7) : I used the NOX android emulator in root moot en copied my new bought book from /data/data/bn.ereader/files/books out of it: Calibre recognizes the title and the book yet when converting or opening it (installed 6,6.1) it still gives a drm error
I replaced the key file tin the calibre plugin, eg deleted and re-entered my B&N user and pwd in 6.6.1 to no avail ;
I tried to load older versions of the Android Nook app on Not yet EITHER they were not able to log in (like the PC/Mac apps) or the book file provided the same issue.
Like most of you, I just want to read my books over multiple devices and e-reader / reader apps and have them in one library
Please advice
Lance
Nook for PC and Nookstudy are both still working for me. They stopped supporting those years ago. As far as I know, the only thing officially cut off from logging in is the Nook 1st Edition as of the end of June. Although I haven’t heard that anyone’s been able to use the Mac apps for a long time. The DeDRM plugin still retrieves my key. And still removes B&N DRM.
Post a log of importing a book:

Laure: It all started for me last week, when my Nook pc app refused to add new bought books; I logged out and tried to log in yet get server errors since;
(Hence, if your nook pc still works, do NOT LOG OUT!)
Alternatively I moved, as described in my previous post, books from a rooted android as well an android emulator;
Calibre and 6.6.1 gave subsequently DRM error
#clueless
Take a look at this comment:
https://apprenticealf.wordpress.com/2012/09/10/drm-removal-tools-for-ebooks/comment-page-40/#comment-63891
See if that gives you a different key then the one that the plugin retrieves.
Hello: I use the standalone DeDRM tool and had not upgraded for a while. I am now on mac sierra osx and first time upgrading alfs tool. I tried to upgrade DeDRM stand alone tool but it didnt work. No error message received. I installed it exactly like I have always done. Someone said it may be sierra gatekeeper stopping the new applications. I checked security and have it set to allow applications from unknown developers. Stil did not work. I read the FAQ on installing the standalone DEDRM tool and no mention for anything special for sierra osx. I put the old version back and it works no issue. So its an install issue with the new mac sierra osx i am thinking. Ideas? thankyou
Same issue as here: https://github.com/apprenticeharper/DeDRM_tools/issues/505#issuecomment-396103048
So will followo the guidance or keep the old dedrm standalone. I dont have calibre installed and dont want it on my mac.
Using the mac standard alone dedrm tool 5.5.3. Is it possible to change the filename of the dedrm kindle file to include both ASIN and filename. In the older days the filename was ASIN. Then about a year ago I think, this changed to be filename. I would like it to include both if at all possible. Thankyou for yor help.
example: filename of the dedrm kindle file would be ASIN_title of book
That’s a really old version — like several years. I believe one of the last two versions should be fine: 6.6.0 or 6.5.5. But you’ll need to avoid kfx format:

Doesn’t matter what file names you want to use.
Thanks for the tools! They’ve been invaluable for removing DRM from my Amazon purchases. You guys are the best.
Is there a way to remove PDB DRM? I have quite a few older books I had on iSilo that I’d like to get into Calibre. If it can’t be done from within DeDRM, any suggestions?
I know that DeDRM doesn’t work on Apple Fairplay. My current understanding is that I can use Requiem (need a much older version of iTunes) and some tweaking to make it work. Or ‘iBook Copy’ from iTunesKit…which gets VERY diverse reviews, so I am hesitant to pay for. Is there any hope that you guys will support the removal of Apple Fairplay in the future? Apparently, the code is out there to do it…would it be difficult to include in the ‘Tools?’ Or is there another reason?
There is a section in the DeDRM customization for eReader ebooks which were PDB files from Fictionwise (maybe other past stores too?). But you need to know the correct name and credit card number to unlock those. No idea about iSolo PDBs.
I don’t think you can get the required version of iTunes working anymore…if you can even find an unmessed with copy of Requiem. That project was always completely separate from these tools and development on it ceased long ago.
I’m sure Apprentice Harper (who maintains these tools) would include iBooks support if someone shared a tool for it. But he has limited time for even maintaining the tools.
So as far as I know, the only option for DRMed iBooks are paid programs. No idea about them myself. But others who follow this blog might know.
I used iBookCopy from TunesKit to get my ePubs from iBooks into Calibre & MapleRead SE
Thanks
Can you make this work for wook books? (wook.pt)
If you can download and read them with Adobe Digital Editions 2.0.1, then yes.
@Laura, “Doesn’t matter what file names you want to use.”
Sorry I seem to have not explained what I am trying to do. I cannot get the current tool (upgraded) to generate the dedrm file with filename = ASIN_name of title. I can get the tool to generate the filename = ASIN OR filename = title of book. If you click the configuration option to save in same file then the dedrm standalone tool saves dedrm file with filename = ASIN. If you click teh configuration option to save the dedrm in your own desired direction, then the dedrm standalone tool saves the dedrm file with filename = title. I want both e.g. filename = ASIN_name of title. How do I do that?
Oh, sorry, I don’t know how that can be done with the standalone app. I use calibre and the plugin myself.
You look inside at the python scripts and tweak the one that sets the output filename?
It seems that something go wrong? I can’t open the standalone app as it showed “The application “DeDRM” can’t be opened.” and period.
What should I do?
Oh, I found the solution in “Issues”; thanks anyway.
Okay, today I’m trying to import a book from my mom’s Kindle Fire. I added her device serial number to the plugin under eInk Kindle ebooks. Then I imported her book into Calibre and tried to convert the file type, but it stopped me because of the DRM on it.
Since I’m trying to use a different device than usual (my mom’s Kindle)… is there anything else I’m supposed to do to get the plugin going? That’s the only thing different today than my usual setup.
A Fire tablet is not an e-ink Kindle. These tools will not not work with a book from that device.
jhwll, thank you for the reminder! Today I used Kindle for PC, and was able to then convert the file into what I needed. Thanks!

It appears that one of the files that makes up the book is truncated, most likely due to a failed download. Try removing that book from Kindle for PC and then downloading it again.
