You'll see the DeDRM plugin double click it. Head back into Calibre's Preferences menu, then go to Advanced, then Plugins, then double click the line called "File type plugins". However, Kindle users will need to jump through a few extra hoop first. Using File Explorer, drag and drop the e-Books from your e-Reader into Calibre's main window, and all that nasty DRM will be stripped out. If you're taking books off your e-Reader, plug it into your PC via USB. If you already have your books stored on your PC, simply drag and drop them into Calibre's main window. Install Calibre and use it to remove ebook DRM.Now that all of the hard work is done, you can simply remove DRM by importing books into Calibre's library. This will work on any Linux distribution. RequirementsĪ working Linux install with root privileges.
$ – requires given linux commands to be executed as a regular non-privileged userĭRM sucks.# – requires given linux commands to be executed with root privileges either directly as a root user or by use of sudo command. There, now that that’s out of the way, you can focus on getting rid of it from all of your ebooks. It’s pretty hard to deny that DRM has a negative impact on ebooks. In short, it prevents you from using your legally purchased property the way you want.Ĭalibre is one of the best ebook tools out there. It’s much more than a reader and a library. Calibre even helps you author your own ebooks. In addition to all that, it lets you remove DRM and convert your ebooks between formats. Think of it like a cross between Kodi and Handbrake, but for ebooks. The plugin removes DRM automatically when an ebook is added to your library. That’s actually the only time that it works, so if you have ebooks already in your library(you shouldn’t) that have DRM, you’ll need to remove them and import them again. Click on the “Add Book” button in Calibre and browse to your book. You should be able to open up your newly imported book in the Calibre viewer. Click on your book in the library list to highlight it. Then, click the “View” button on the main menu. Your previously DRM’d book will open up in a new window for viewing. The DRM is gone, and the book is free to use however you choose. If you want to get more creative with it, click on the “Convert books” button.
You can select from a variety of output formats.
