Easy Steps to Remove DRM From Kindle and Audible Books 2024 Calibre Update

[@intimko2687]

Girl, you're the reason I'm getting my grad school degree LOL. It's so hard for me to read so I tend to listen to all my reading materials, but I wasn't able to find a PDF of my textbook anywhere. You're a lifesaver!

[@barryfeatheringill6472]

To say "Thank You" is simply not enough! I needed to make some revisions to a book I wrote back in 2014. Some where in the past years I had lost my original copy and was about ready to have to retype by hand 37,000 words document. By purchasing my ebook I was able to reconstruct the book and make needed changes in less than 6 hours. Most of the time was spent revising. So sending along a HUGE eHug. Now going to check out your playlists (see some interesting videos on WW that as a life-time WW-er looking forward to checking out WW videos as well as other videos)

Thanks for the video. Very easy to convert my audible books

[@walenque]

You made my day, Danielle! Txs!!

[@Effortlessmile23]

Hi Danielle! I actually followed all the steps for removing DRM in Calibre as you instructed. However, I still get the "This book has DRM" message. Any ideas? Appreciate your help!

[@ginmit3383]

My exact problem as well 😞

[@fitdaniellereads]

Unfortunately, the only wisdom that I can offer is to be sure that the serial number is entered correctly (I copy and paste), and make sure that you're downloading the books to the Kindle that you entered. If it still doesn't work, maybe try uninstalling the whole thing and do a fresh install. I have NO explanation for why that works, but sometimes it does. I think that Calibre can be really touchy, and if it doesn't see everything just right it might not work.

@@fitdaniellereads Sorry if i missed it, but I cannot get this to work with my Fire Tablet. I have read that it doesn't work with Fire Tablets, only Kindles. Any suggestions on this? Thanks.

[@Maxoeh]

@@fitdaniellereads I do have the same problem. It works with the AZW3 files, but not the AZW ones. So I tried to convert them to the AZW3 format, but that also is not working.

[@Maxoeh]

Finally I was able to convert all the formats, also AZW format. The way to do it is not to convert, but use the import method. Then it works, because then the boks get imported in the AZW3 format.

[@thanielxj11]

If you are having trouble trying using the following versions of the software. Caliber 4.23.0 DeDRM plugin v6.8.1 Kindle for PC 1.17.44170 It will recognize AZW4 files as well as AZW3 And you don't need to have a Kindle serial number.

[@madelineirwin1245]

I've been able to do this for all but the more recent books unfortunately but I'll get around that by reading them on my kindle and now only purchasing books on my Kobo itself

[@madelineirwin1245]

Update: I deleted then put in my serial number again and it WORKED for new books! Thank you so so much for this video!

[@fitdaniellereads]

You're so welcome. I'm glad that it helped.

[@DominickCappuccilli-n9o]

Thank you, this worked. Also, you're hilarious!

[@fitdaniellereads]

You're so welcome . . . and thank you.

[@LushaTeeElanaBee]

I've done the whole calibre and dedrm plugin but there's still a few books that it doesn't work on, so it's blocking me from converting my kindle books to epubs so that essentially I can transfer them to my Kobo. Any ideas how I can go about that?.

[@LushaTeeElanaBee]

Nvm. I think I got it to work 😅😅😅

[@michaelaceleste4764]

I have 1,000 books on kindle do I have to do 1 book at a time?

[@fitdaniellereads]

Unfortunately, yes. It goes pretty quickly once you get it set-up, but I haven't found a way to do bulk downloads or conversions.

[@hassantariq7676]

Great tutorial, but I am using kindle program on my laptop to read book! what serial # i need to put in. I will really appreciate your response!

[@fitdaniellereads]

Try this process. I have read that it works. I have not had a chance to try it, but I have read that some people have had success with it. download Calibre install on Calibre KFX input plugin install on Calibre the latest deDRM plugin install on your PC the latest Kindle4PC app download your ebooks on your PC through the app import them on Calibre check if DRM has been removed Good luck!!

[@junielix]

it didn't work for me. After clicking convert, a warning appears that it has DRM

[@fitdaniellereads]

Make sure that you have all of the latest versions of the plugins and make sure that you have the KFX plug-ins installed. It seems like when people have problems with the process, it's usually that they aren't using the latest versions or they don't have their serial # entered correctly.

Great tutorial but video editing was invented for a reason.

[@fitdaniellereads]

Really? Maybe you can explain how it works. Commas were invented for a reason, too, by the way.

[@ajis699]

Great video, works perfectly

[@AKGatesway]

Thanks for the help! 2 quick questions: #1) I can't remove the DRM from a AWZ4 book. Any ideas? Also, #2) I love the ability to annotate and handwrite notes on an eReader! Boox can do that? I purchased a Kobo thinking it would allow handwritten notes on Kindle ePUB imported books, but nope. Any help would be appreciated!

[@asan1050]

That tutorial was complete! Thank you very much! Danielle!

Not working on my MacBook : ( ... Any other Apple people having difficulty?

[@applaudmyidiocy]

Mac user here.. Calibre is crashing on me while using the newest version of DeDRM and trying to go in and put in my Kindle serial number. :(

[@alexchan4037]

I don't have Kindle ereader, I use the Kindle app on my iPad. I purchased book from Kindle and read from iPad. Now I want to get a Kobo e-reader. How can I transfer books that I purchased from Kindle and transfer to Kobo when I don't have Kindle e-reader. Thanks

[@fitdaniellereads]

I haven't had a chance to try this yet, but I found this process. Some folks have said that it works, but I can't personally vouch for it. download Calibre install on Calibre KFX input plugin install on Calibre the latest deDRM plugin install on your PC the latest Kindle4PC app download your ebooks on your PC through the app import them on Calibre check if DRM has been removed Good luck!!

Thank you so much! I tried this yesterday but missed a step apparently.

[@fitdaniellereads]

You're so welcome. I hope that you got it to work.

[@SE-ih9nc]

I was following along until I encountered an error within Calibre's Preference Plugins: zip file is invalid. It does not contain a top level...file. Now what?

[@SE-ih9nc]

this occurred instead of being able to restart Calibre as per your tutorial.

[@fitdaniellereads]

If you unzip that file, inside you should find DeDRM_plugin.zip and obok_plugin.zip. Those are the plugins to install.
