# DeDRM_tools
|
|
This is a repository that tracks all the scripts and tools for removing DRM from eBooks.
|
|
|
|
The provided plugins should work with both Calibre 5.x/6.x (Python 3), as well as Calibre 4.x and lower (Python 2).<br>
|
|
If you encounter issues with the plugins in Calibre 4.x or lower, please open a bug report.
|
|
|
|
The original repository of Apprentice Harper [is no longer maintained](https://github.com/apprenticeharper/DeDRM_tools#no-longer-maintained), so I've taken over, merged a bunch of open PRs, and added a ton more features and bugfixes.

## FAQ
|
|
|
|
You are urged to read the [FAQ](FAQs.md).
|
|
|
|
The most common issue you may run into is that you cannot load the nested archive with all the tools into Calibre.<br>
|
|
You need to unarchive the downloaded tools archive, to get just the archive with the standalone plugin.<br>
|
|
Beta versions may be just the plugin, don't unarchive that.<br>

See the plugin [README](DeDRM_plugin_ReadMe.txt) overview.

|
|
|
For using the tools with Calibre from the CLI, see that [README](CALIBRE_CLI_INSTRUCTIONS.md).

|
|
### DeDRM
|
|
|
|
The DeDRM plugin handles books that use Amazon DRM, Adobe Digital Editions DRM, Barnes & Noble DRM, and some historical formats.<br>
|
|
For the latest Amazon KFX format, users of the Calibre plugin should also install the KFX Input plugin from the standard Calibre plugin menu.<br>
|
|
It is also available from [the MobileRead thread](https://www.mobileread.com/forums/showthread.php?t=291290).
|
|
|
|
Note that Amazon changes the DRM for KFX files frequently. What works for KFX today might not work tomorrow.
|
|
|
|
See its [README](DeDRM_plugin_ReadMe.txt).
|
|
|
|
### Obok
|
|
|
|
The Obok plugin handles Kobo DRM.
|
|
|
|
See its [README](obok_plugin_ReadMe.txt).
