Version 7.2.1 released on 11 April, 2021
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.

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.

Hi,
I keep on getting an error trying to install the 6.8.0 plugin (I’m not on Big Sur, so am not dealing w 6.8.1) on calibre 4.23.0. Here’s what I get:

Sorry, the init file name has underscores before and after the word, but the thing here seems to render that instead as bold text…the thing looks like this ‘__ init __.py file’ (minus the spaces).

For this version of calibre, you need DeDRM 7.0.3 (which is plugin only so don’t unzip it). If you want to use DeDRM 6.8.1, go back to calibre 4.23.
Same is happening for me…
Same solution then. Unzip DeDRM_tools_6.8.0.zip. Load DeDRM_Plugin.zip.
OMG! Thank you so much! I know the plugins are supposed to be added in their zipped format; it didn’t occur to me that I need to unzip a layer. D’oh! That worked! Thanks a million!!!
Thanks, this was awesome. You are amazing!
I can’t get it to work. Every time I try to load a kindle book and convert it it says it’s protected by DRM. I’ve loaded all the plugins correctly and restarted calibre, no idea what’s going wrong.
We’ll need more info to help. How are you downloading the book? What version of DeDRM and calibre are you using?
I’m downloading it via the amazon for pc program. And it’s the latest versions of the DeDRM plugin and calibre.
The beta DeDRM 7.0.3 doesn’t work with KFX format which is what most books will come in unless you disable KFX downloads or use the older Kindle for PC 1.17 (which doesn’t use KFX format). See methods 1 or 2 at this post: https://www.mobileread.com/forums/showthread.php?t=283371
If you have an e-ink Kindle (not a Fire), use can use method 3 and add your kindle serial number to the DeDRM customization.
Thanks! That fixed it.
Gah, I bet I spent a solid hour trying to figure out how to make this work before reading your post. Thanks so much for your help, Laura. It worked like a charm. And thanks to everyone who makes these tools available. It’s sad that they are needed, but such is life.
Hi Laura! I had the new Kindle software on my PC but changed it to 1.17 so that I can convert a book (bought on Amazon), in Calibre. I have Calibre 5.8.1 and I’ve downloaded the KFX input plugin, but there is no DeDRM plug-in in the list. When I had the new Kindle (yesterday), the folder contained 2 files, now with having changed to Kindle 1.17, I have only one file in the folder, but Calibre still says “This book is locked by DRM.” so it can’t convert it to epub. What can I do more? May it solve the problem if I DL Calibre 4.23? If yes, how to get that old version without losing my books in calibre 5.8.1?
I hope you can help me. Thanks in advance,
Angie
The DeDRM plugin isn’t on calibre’s list. The version that will work with calibre 5 is here: https://github.com/apprenticeharper/DeDRM_tools/releases/tag/7.0.3
Download DeDRM_plugin_7.0.3.zip. In calibre, go to Preferences > Plugins > Load plugin from file.
It worked, now I can put it the new book to my ereeder, thanks a lot! One question left: can I update Calibre if there is a new version, or does it have to stay this version? I understood that I must not update the old version of Kindle.
Using this version of DeDRM (7.0.3), it is fine to update calibre. If at some point you are unable to stay on Kindle for PC 1.17, it is still possible to disable KFX downloads on later versions and get files you can decrypt.

Um, here’s what I’m getting — halp!! I’m using the 6.8.1 toolz….

To use DeDRM 6.8.1, you will need to go back to calibre 4.23. If you want to stick with that version of calibre, you will need beta DeDRM 7.0.3.

That version of calibre (included with your Linux distro?) has Python 3 in spite of having the same version number of the last official release of calibre with Python 2. So it will need DeDRM 7.0.3.
Hello,
I opened an acsm file in Adobe Digital Editions and it created a PDF file. I tried to open the PDF in Calibre 5.9 but it’s just blank.
DeDRM plugin only (v7.0.3) is installed on Calibre.
Also the pdf opens fine in Adobe, so it’s not empty. Anybody know how I could open the PDF in Calibre? Thanks
Can you open the pdf in some other pdf viewer?
It’s blank on everything else as well. Preview, the quick viewer and Books.
It may be something the beta DeDRM isn’t handling correctly. You might want to try calibre 4.23 and DeDRM 6.8.1.
Worked perfectly on Calibre 4.23.
Thanks Lauraaaaaaaa!
Oh, good! Thanks for reporting back. The beta DeDRM seems to have some more work needed and pdfs are complicated.
Fair enough. This is a good solution during the interim in any case

I am having trouble removing the DRM from an amazon kindle ebook for Mac (OS X 10.16, Calibre 5.9, KFX Input 1.36.0, deDRM 7.0.3). See below the debug log. Any thoughts?

Work still needs to be done on the beta DeDRM for PDFs. Try with calibre 4.23 and DeDRM 6.8.1.
I’ve got an M1 MacBook Air running Big Sur, Calibre 5.10.1, deDRM 7.0.3 with the chmod modification made (and then the Kindle app restarted before downloading anything), and when I import a newly downloaded AZW file into Calibre, I get the “it’s still protected by DRM” error.

Big Sur seems to be having trouble with beta DeDRM. Try calibre 4.23 and DeDRM 6.8.1.
I’m glad I’m waiting for DeDRM to get out of native. My wife has Big Sur. My old iMac is stuck on Catalina, and I’m waiting to replace it until I no longer need to boot to Mojave to run a program that is being converted to 64-bit. When that happens, I’ll have to decide between a Mac-Mini or wait for the M1 iMac.
Wait for the 2nd gen M1 chip. The current one has too many limitations and the rule is never ever buy a first generation product from Apple as it usually is lousy. iPad was awful. Apple Watch was terrible. Air Pods had terrible battery life. So wait for the 2nd gen M1 chip before you buy. Also, if you buy an Intel based Mac, you’ll not be able to run anything written natively for the M1 while you will be able to run most Intel code.
I’m having a similar issue. When I try to add the zipped DeDRM file, I get the following error –

I am trying to remove the DRM from a borrowed library ebook. Any thoughts?
Unzip DeDRM_tools_6.8.1.zip. Load DeDRM_Plugin.zip into calibre 4.23.
These tools are intended for purchased books.
Ah ok. Is there anything available for library ebooks?
Not gonna get any help with that here.
Btw I am just looking to download a library book onto my kindle and read when I have the time. That was there is no pressure to return at a specific date. Not looking to steal or share the book, and delete after I read.
Hello.
I need your help.
I downloaded DeDRM_plugin_7.0.0b4 folder, and unzipped it.
When I’m in Calibre, I opened “add plug in from file”, but when I chose the unzipped folder DeDRM_plugin_7.0.0b4 folder, I couldn’t locate and select the DeDRM_Plugin.zip … How do I do this?
First, if you’re going to try a beta DeDRM, go with the latest 7.0.3 release. For these, it is just the DeDRM plugin only. So do NOT unzip it — load the entire file as is. Also, you need to be using calibre 5.x.
Hello,
I’m suddenly having issues with calibre and kindle. I am using MAC OS Catalina10.15.7. I downgraded calibre to v 4.23 and downloaded DeDRM 6.8.1. This is the first time I am running into issues. Books are not opening. It says to remove from library and try again. I’m getting the same message on my paperwhite and kindle for android on my tablet. The books open fine directly into the kindle app or apple book. The book is an active library rental, within its rental period. Not trying any funny business. Besides this current issue, I can’t go back and open any of the books that were already on my kindle. No idea what happened.

Thanks .
Is ADE on the same machine and user as calibre with DeDRM? Is ADE authorized with your Adobe ID? Are you using ADE 2.0.1? If not, can you open the book with ADE 2.0.1 authorized with the same Adobe ID?
Is ADE on the same machine and user as calibre with DeDRM? YES
Is ADE authorized with your Adobe ID? YES
Are you using ADE 2.0.1? NO, ADE 3.0
If not, can you open the book with ADE 2.0.1 authorized with the same Adobe ID? I got some issues when I tried to install ADE 2.0.1 on windows 10. It should be possible ?
Thanks
Yes, I use ADE 2.0.1 on Windows 10. I’m still using calibre 4.23 and DeDRM 6.8, but I’ve seen other reports of success with DeDRM 7.0.3 and Adobe epubs. It mainly seems to be pdfs that are still giving problems with the beta DeDRM.
I’m using Calibre 5.x (latest version) along with DeDRM 7.0.3 and it does work for Mobi, KF8, and ePub.
What I did was export the keys from DeDRM 6.8.0 and Calibre 4.23. I then deleted the jason file for DeDRM and imported the keys using one of the beta versions and it’s worked. When I installed one of the beta versions, it didn’t work with the jason file from 6.8.0. I don’t know it’s that has been fixed with 7.0.3.
Thanks for your help, I found the reason of my issue, I have two urn:uuid: associated to the same email address. I can’t access anymore to the ebook dowloaded with the initial urn:uuid. ADE2.0.1 doesn’t help in my case.

Install DeDRM 7.0.3.
I’m not sure if I’m doing something wrong, but everytime I try to save a purchased book from my Kindle paperwhite to the PC through Calibre 5.10.1, and then add it to the library, I still cannot open the book because it’s DRM protected…
I’ve installed the deDRM 7.0.3 and the “KFX Input 1.36.0”
My Kindle firware version is 5.12.2
Any help would be great 😛
You will need to disable KFX downloads. See this thread (https://www.mobileread.com/forums/showthread.php?t=283371) on the MobileRead forums.
You won’t be able to decrypt a book directly from the Paperwhite. See the link DNSB gave for other methods of getting files that you can decrypt.
Thanks for your answers.
My problem is that I’ve delete this amazon account without realizing that it was connected to my kindle…so I cannot download the books I have inside in any other way :(((
No way to decrypt them directly from paperwhite?
Not if it is in KFX format.
Best to free your books right after you get them. But definitely before deleting an account.
Why would you delete your Amazon account? ff you didn’t want to use it, just edit the address(es) and the payment method and leave it sitting. Amazon cannot help you get back your digital content.
I’m awaiting the fix going out of beta. But something off-topic happened to me. On my Catalina Mac, I can no longer download books I bought using Chrome. So I go to Firefox to download books and open them on Calibre. I have no idea how that happened.
See this thread at MobileRead: https://www.mobileread.com/forums/showthread.php?t=335530
Post #7 fixed this for me.
Thanks. Apparently, the lock is near an address which I also can’t find.
When you are on the page where you download books from Amazon, the lock is to the left of the url in Chrome’s address bar.
Wow, then I had to do a couple more steps. Thanks.
Hello. I downloaded calibre 4.23, DeDRM 6.8.1 and disabled KFX using the command line method. When I try to convert, I still get a DRM error. Cant figure out why. macOS Big Sur. Any help is appreciated.
UPDATE
I reinstalled the plug ins and tried to convert to MOBI first and then from MOBI to EPUB and it worked. Thank you.
Probably just need to reimport fresh copies.
A few months ago I had downloaded the beta tools and the new Calibre for my iMac with BigSur OS and it had all broken with nothing but failures. At the time someone here (and I thank them) told me to back off and downgrade to Calibre 4.23 and Tools 6.8.1 which I did. It has all been 100% fine since that awful few days. But I am always upgrading stuff to the newest software and I always feel bad when Calibre shows a new update. But I do NOT want to experiment again. I see the tools are still beta? So, not time to download as yet? Or am I missing where the debugged tools might be found? Thanks.
Work continues and things are improving, but yes still in beta.
Thanks. Laura! I’m not in a great g=huury, it’s just good to know it is still being worked upon.
Hello, I’ve been struggling to remove the DRM for some ebooks, mainly AZW format and varieties thereof…
I’m on a Windows machine, using both the latest Calibre and deDRM plugins, and it will not remove the DRM. I’ve checked other comments, the FAQ, the readme, and I’m sure I’m missing something, but struggling to figure out what it is. I appreciate the help!
Here’s the log…. I’m not sure how much of it you needed:

Retrieved from the website for d”ownload & transfer via USB”? You need to choose an E-ink Kindle for the device (not a Fire) and you need to enter its serial number into DeDRM’s customization.
Thanks! I am pretty sure I set my device as a Paperwhite. Are you meaning the file needs to be downloaded differently? I’m not sure how to find the DeDRM’s customization.
If you selected your Paperwhite during the download, you should be good. In calibre go to Preferences > Plugins. Then highlight the DeDRM plugin in the list and click the Customize plugin button > eInk Kindle ebooks > green plus sign. Easiest way to get the serial number in there correctly is to copy and paste it from your Content & Devices page at Amazon. Then click ok and apply out of the dialog boxes and restart calibre before re-adding the book.
I really appreciate your help! I have done that! I entered the serial number, and I’ve got a second Kindle serial number for the household that I added too.
I am still experiencing Calibre not removing the DRM.

Make sure that you choose one of those Kindles for the device when you download it. And double check that you have the serial number entered correctly.
I bought such a Kindle on-line (Kindle Paperwhite (2013) 6” reader (S&D)), and never use it. But I can choose it to download books.
As long as the Paperwhite is registered to your Amazon account (you’ll see the serial number under Contents and Devices), you can use it for Download and Transfer via USB.
Fantastic! That was it! Thanks so much for your help. Much appreciated. If I ‘download and transfer via USB,’ I could remove the DRM from the books. It seems I was trying to deDRM and convert files that my husband had delivered to a Kindle app for PC and then removed from the folder created by the Kindle app.
Is it still possible to deDRM those? If so, how would I have to change the settings?
Just download them again.
Yes, you can DeDRM books from Kindle for PC. The Kindle for PC app that is used to download the books needs to be on the same computer and user as calibre with DeDRM. It needs to be an older version of Kindle for PC or you need to disable KFX format downloads. See this post for details: https://www.mobileread.com/forums/showthread.php?t=283371
Very helpful! Thanks. 🙂 Appreciate you helping me figuring this out.
Have downloaded your latest DRM removal plugin and it has been working fine. I have now downloaded a KFX ZIP file ebook to my kindle on my pc and when trying to convert to epub through calibre is it not removing the DMR. KFX files are still being converted. Do you have any solution. Thanks in advance.
KFX-ZIP is a KFX book which hasn’t been decrypted, not a separate format. Anything different about this book or the way it was downloaded? Has your Kindle for PC updated to the latest version? We’ll need an import log to see what’s happening: 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

I’m thinking beta DeDRM is not working with that particular KFX file. I’d try disabling KFX downloads or going back to calibre 4.23 and DeDRM 6.8.1. To disable KFX downloads, see method 2 (or 1) at this post: https://www.mobileread.com/forums/showthread.php?t=283371
Many thanks for this Laura, reverted back to Kindle 1.17 and this downloaded as ax file and was able to convert via Calibre.
I’m making a post here because I accidentally unsubscribed to this whole site, where I only wanted to unsubscribe was to one thread. And I want to be notified when the DRM is updated so that I can update my Calibre.
There’s a Follow button over in the right sidebar.
I cannot remove DRM from this free ebook: https://www.amazon.com/Make-Believe-Fianc%C3%A9-Book-1-ebook/dp/B07D9HB78H/

For KFX format, you need to download the books with Kindle for PC 1.26 or earlier. You also need the KFX Input plugin. When adding these books to calibre, click the Add books button, navigate to the Kindle folder, and only select the AZW file.
Alternatively, disable KFX format downloads. See this post for details: https://www.mobileread.com/forums/showthread.php?t=283371
I downgraded Kindle for Mac to version 1.23.1 and using Calibre 3.48 with DeDRM 6.6.3 and KFX Input 1.36.0. I’m running Mac OS High Sierra 10.13.6. After downgrading my Kindle for Mac I unregistered it and then re-registered it so that I would have the Kindle books re-downloaded in the older format.
I try and import the .azw book into Calibre and I can see the title, author and cover page of the book in Calibre but I still can’t open the book. The format listed is “KFX-ZIP”
I have started Calibre in debug mode so I can get the debug messages. Here it is:

Update to DeDRM 6.8.1. If you want to avoid KFX format, see method 1 or 2 at this post: https://www.mobileread.com/forums/showthread.php?t=283371
I don’t have the option to download a later version of DeDRM – maybe it’s because I’m forced to use an older Calibre (3.48) because I’m on Mac OS High Sierra 10.13.6? I just see an empty list when I request to update DeDRM plugin. Do you recommend I update to a later version of Mac OS to install the latest Calibre or try method 2 (disable KFX) as written in https://www.mobileread.com/forums/showthread.php?t=283371?
DeDRM is not one of the plugins that you can get or update directly through calibre. Download DeDRM_tools_6.8.1.zip from here: https://github.com/apprenticeharper/DeDRM_tools/releases/tag/v6.8.1
Unzip it and then load DeDRM_Plugin.zip into calibre by going to Preferences > Plugins > Load plugin from file.
Disable KFX if you want the older format, but I’d recommend updating to DeDRM 6.8.1 either way.
It worked!!!
Installed DeDRM 6.8.1 (https://github.com/apprenticeharper/DeDRM_tools/releases/tag/v6.8.1) and then disabled KFX (chmod -x /Applications/Kindle.app/Contents/MacOS/renderer-test). Then registered my Kindle for Mac (1.30.0), downloaded one of my book and imported successfully to Calibre and can read it there.
THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!
Does that mean everything’s working now and that I can upgrade my Calibre?
Not sure what you mean. I’m using an older Calibre (3.48) because I have an older Mac OS (10.13.6 High Sierra) that isn’t compatible with the newest Calibre.
I have a late 2013 iMac that won’t run Big Sur. I expect that to change when the M1 iMacs are out, if one program that I need finishes being converted to 64-bit. But I won’t be able to boot to my Mojave SSD with a M1 computer. At any rate I had to downgrade to Calibre 4.2.3 after I upgraded it because I couldn’t convert my Kindle books. So I’m waiting until DeDRM is upgraded to be compatible with the current Calibre.
He’s talking about using calibre 3.48 and DeDRM 6.8.1. DeDRM for calibre 5.x is still in pre-release.
I’ve been using the latest Calibre 5 and DeDRM 7.0.3 and it works for ePub, Mobi, and KF8. I do have a 64-bit portable Calibre 4.23 with DeDRM 6.8.1 installed just in case. As I don’t download DRM infected PDF, the fact that PDF does not work does not matter to me. I’ve not tried Obok to see if that works as I download ePub from Kobo.
So (IMHO) if you don’t need Obok or PDF then Calibre 5 and DeDRM 7.0.3 works no bother.
Hi Jon,
I still have a Mojave VM that I use with Adobe Digital Editions 1 for all my Kobo books because I thought newer versions of ADE didn’t work with DeDRM. How do you get your ePubs from Kobo? It would be grand if I didn’t need the VM anymore!
Thanks
Christopher
Apologies, ADE 2 is what I am using…
To download ePub from Kobo.com…
How to download the .acsm file to get an ePub from ADE
1.My Account
2. My Books
3. …
4. Download
5. Download File
That’s it. You get the .acsm file and ADE uses it to download the ePub.
Thanks — it was actually whether DeDRM worked with newer versions of ADE (beyond 2). You encouraged me to try it and it works, so the only thing I need the Mojave VM for now will be the extremely rare Kindle purchase I make.
I’ve run into 3 epubs which I could not remove the DRM from using Alf’s tools. Another issue is that I could not download them using ADE 2.0.1 so I used ADE 4.5.xx. All 3 were textbooks and looking at the .acsm file, they were using Adobe’s hardened DRM which is not removable at this time. As far as I can tell, Kobo, Google, etc. are not using that hardened DRM so no issues for me using a newer version of ADE. You can check this link for a bit more information on Adobe’s DRM: https://www.adobe.com/ca/solutions/ebook/content-server/faq.html
You don’t need to stick with Mojave for Kindle books. See this post for details: https://www.mobileread.com/forums/showpost.php?p=3819708&postcount=508
Stick with ADE 2.0.1 if possible. DeDRM cannot decrypt the hardened Adobe DRM that you might get with ADE 3 and later. It all depends on the ebook vendor.
You don’t update the DeDRM plugin using calibre’s updater. You will need to download the update and install it manually. Disabling KFX is a good idea since KFX is a lousy format to convert from. Unlike AZW3 and epub which are very similar making it easy to convert, converting KFX is more like having to decompile a program to recover the source code.
Yes, thank you! It worked after disabling KFX and installing DeDRM 6.8.1 in the way you suggested.
Getting Error message ” The document is encrypted by an unsupported security handler:, when I try to open the pdf file
The log says that Adobe Digital Editions is not activated. You need to authorize ADE with your Adobe ID before opening the ACSM file.
