Free Download Program The Pity Of It All Ebook Readers
One of the biggest problems with ebooks is. It locks ebooks into certain platforms so that you can only read your purchased ebooks on specific apps and devices. As if that’s not bad enough a lot of the time ebooks that you spend good money on are horribly formatted by the author or publisher, and if the ebook has DRM there’s not much you can do about it.But if you go ahead and remove the DRM from your purchased ebooks you can read them on whichever devices or apps that you want. Plus you can easily control all aspects of layout using Calibre to modify the ebook’s CSS file.
Another great thing about Calibre is you can use it to manage your entire ebook library from all ebookstores in one centralized location instead of having your ebook library fragmented across different platforms.Disclaimer: Removing DRM is a highly-controversial subject, and is in fact considered illegal in some countries, including the US and Canada. This article is intended as only a guide for people that choose to take responsibility for removing the DRM from their purchased ebooks in order to have greater control over their own purchased content. I don’t promote or condone piracy in any shape or form. Removing Adobe DRM GuideThese directions are based on using a Windows 7 PC. Details may differ slightly for Mac users and for other versions of Windows. Make sure to read the ReadMe files located in the plugins folder for additional instructions.#1.
The first thing you need to do to be able to remove Adobe DRM is install Adobe Digital Editions and Calibre onto your computer if they aren’t already installed.#2. Now you need to download the DRM Removal Tools package from over on. The link is halfway down the page.
Make sure to read the note below the link about how to properly download the file. And thank Apprentice Alf and friends for making all of this so easy:).Extract the zip file once it is downloaded. It should be called something like 'toolsv5.6.zip'. It’s a good idea to check the included ReadMeFirst document for additional instructions.#3.
Install the DRM-Removal plugin(s) into Calibre. Inside the DRM removal tools folder that you downloaded there’s a folder called DeDRMcalibreplugin with a DeDRMplugin.zip file inside. All the DRM-removal plugins for Kindle, Adobe ePub and PDF, and B&N’s ePubs are incorporated into the one install zip file (this changed with a recent update; previously you had to install each separately).To install a plugin simply launch Calibre and then select 'Preferences' from the top menu (if the window isn’t open all the way you have to hit a small arrow on the top right to expand the selection to show the Preferences option). From the Preferences window you need to select 'Plugins' and then choose 'Load plugin from file'. Navigate to where you unzipped the DRM removal tools pack, open the DeDRMcalibreplugin folder, and then select the DeDRMplugin.zip file to install it. A security risk dialogue pops-up where you have to click Yes to proceed. After installing the plugin close Calibre and then restart it.#4.
Now all you have to do to remove Adobe DRM from ebooks is import them into Calibre using the 'Add books' feature. The plugin will automatically strip the DRM from ebooks upon import, and it takes virtually no time at all. Note that it won’t work for ebooks added to Calibre before installing the plugin; they will need to be deleted and re-imported.In order to import ebooks into Calibre you have to have them downloaded onto your computer first, of course.
That’s where Adobe Digital Editions (ADE) comes in. Wherever you bought your Adobe DRM ebook from (Kobo, Sony, Google, etc) there will be an option to download it to your computer if you login to your account and view your library. But when you download the ebook it will be an acsm file instead of ePub. First you have to open the acsm file for it to import the ebook into ADE. Once that’s done you can locate the ePub file that you need to import into Calibre within the folder that ADE created on your computer. With my installation ADE ebooks are located in Documents My Digital Editions.That’s all there is to removing Adobe DRM from ebooks! Now you can modify the formatting of the ebook and read it on whatever app or device you choose, including a Kindle (but first you’ll have to use Calibre to convert it to MOBI format).
Here’s a if you want to learn how to use Calibre to convert ebooks into other formats and how to customize layout and fonts. Did you try the directions in the ReadMe file for ineptepub? There’s a section for Linux and Adobe ePubs:Linux and Adobe Digital Editions ePubs————————————–Here are the instructions for using the tools with ePub books and Adobe Digital Editions on Linux under Wine. (Thank you mclien and Fadel!)1. Download the most recent version of wine from winehq.org (1.3.29 in my case)For debian users:to get a recent version of wine I decited to use aptosid (2011-02, xfce)(because I’m used to debian)install aptosid and upgrade it (see aptosid site for detaild instructions)2.
Properly install Wine (see the Wine site for details)For debian users:cd to this dir and install the packages as root:‘dpkg -i.deb’you will get some error messages, which can be ignored.again as root use‘apt-get -f install’ to correct this errors3. Python 2.7 should already be installed on your system but you may need the following additional python package‘apt-get install python-tk’4. All programms need to be installed as normal user. The.exe files are installed using ‘wine ’ but.msi files must be installed using ‘wine start ’we need:a) Adobe Digital Edition 1.7.2(from: )(there is a “can’t install ADE” site, where the setup.exe hides)b) ActivePython-2.7.2.5-win32-x86.msi (from: )c) Win32OpenSSLLight-098r.exe (from: )d) pycrypto-2.3.win32-py2.7.msi (from: )5. Now get and unpack the very latest toolsvX.X (from Apprentice Alf) in the users drivec of wine(/.wine/drivec/)6. Start ADE with:‘wine digitaleditions.exe’ or from the start menue wine-adobe-digital.7. Register this instance of ADE with your adobeID and close itchange to the toolsvX.X dir:cd /.wine/drivec/toolsvX.X/OtherTools/8.
Create the adeptkey.der with:‘wine python ineptkey.py’ (only need once!)(key will be here: /.wine/drivec/toolsvX.X/OtherTools/adeptkey.der)9. Use ADE running under Wine to dowload all of your purchased ePub ebooks10. Install the ineptepub and ineptpdf plugins from the tools as discribed in the readmes.11.

Please think twice about leaving this posting online. Regardless of whether “removing DRM is a highly-controversial subject”, the act of removing digital locks is ILLEGAL in the United States by the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA).
As such, any citizen of the United States who follows these instructions is breaking the law. This is also the case in countries with similar legislation, such as the recent bill C-11 in Canada.Please keep in mind that the wording related to the removal of digital locks is not specific to the context of piracy – it is applicable to individuals removing digital locks for their own use.For the record, I don’t agree with this law, but at the same time I would like to see this blog continue without running into legal difficulties.
What is illegal is selling books that no one can read. I am not reading books I did not purchase, but to buy books and then have to go through holy hell to read themwell, that is just unconscionable.I have been more hours than I care to talk about trying to read the few lousy books I bought last night that are in ACSM. I have gone thru all the hoops countless times, and nothing that the so-called legal channels suggested worked to get my ADE books into my Nook.So, I used my god-given brain and searched for another method. And if anyone would like to come after me for doing something illegal, they are welcomed to do so.
They can kiss my a$$. Thomas Jefferson said that if unjust laws are passed, not only do we have the right to disobey them, but the moral obligation to disobey them. Because unjust laws can never be over turned, if the masses do not push against them. For if a car is rolled over onto someone, how can it be moved by only one person?
It takes many many people fighting the weight to over turn it.As well as how the Constitution says the government may institute a copyright / patent system if it will encourage others to produce new works. But large corporations having thousands of copyrights and patents on anything and everything around us. Is not encouragement, it is out right discouragement to the extreme extent.I understand copying something a million times costs authors money. But given that most small time authors barely get anything unless they sell millions of copies. I say we are just in fighting that system. I wish to purchase a ePub then give it to a not tech savvy friend. But having to jump through flaming legal and technical hoops to do it.
Is also discouraging and flat out ridiculous to the enth degree. Just as a small side note I thought of.The invention of the 3D printer has a lot of people excited over the advancement of technology and how the “little guy” can now be more self sufficient. But when it comes to literature, people are paranoid companies will sue them if they even try to actually use an advancement in technology, namely the ability to easily give someone a gift that you enjoyed yourself, while still being able to enjoy it.Most intelligent people who think about writing a book are scared away by all the hoops they will have to just through to get it into the “masses” hands.
As well as handing any monetary rights over a huge corporation for at least 15 or more years. Or forever if the work becomes popular. One author, after having his book go out of print, wished to make copies on his own and give them away. But the publisher threaten law suit over HIS OWN work.Now tell me again why this is a system we should not be fighting tooth and nail? So what if some books may become hard to acquire.
Is not the end goal worth small sacrifices of fictional or non-fictional works that may not even benefit your life in the long term if you read them?. @Daniel – you say: “Most intelligent people who think aboutwriting a book are scared away by all the hoops they will have tojust through to get it into the “masses” hands. As well as handingany monetary rights over a huge corporation for at least 15 or moreyears. Or forever if the work becomes popular.” Like you reallyknow something I am in the process of writing two books, and Iexpect to be paid for my results based on the free marketplace. IfI produce quality work, I should receive compensation. You’ll getthat when you get a job and have to pay bills – but for now, you’regrossly misguided. I don’t mind if you buy my book and GIVE it to afriend that is not tech savvy.
However, I do mind very much if youemail my book to five or your friends – for free of course, becauseYOU paid for it, and therefore YOU can do whatever you want – andthen they in turn do the same thing. Your five friends sending MYbook to five of their friends five times is – wait for it – 19,530people that didn’t pay for my book. (5, 25, 125, 625, 3,125, 15,625– add em up). Could this turn into millions?
Of course not –nobody would email a book they thought they OWNED to a “dearfriend” that NEEDS it and doesn’t feel they should pay for it.Unless, of course, we use the music industry as an example of whatcould happen. Oh yeah, then everyone and their brother thinksthey’re entitled to free music.
Call this a lesson in morality.Just because you CAN steal something, doesn’t make it right. Italso doesn’t give you the right to give unlocked multiple copiesaway. But we can trust you right? Sure – you would never givesomething away like a music or a movie or a book – of course not.But a million other people would. This insight is very valuable tome. I will be holding out publishing my books until we see whathappens.
Of course, the best solution is economic. I will notpublish it in e-form – only paper. If you want to copy my 1,200pages on a copier, then go for it. How much toner and paper is thatgoing to cost?
And your time too – at 20 cents an hour Who haswon here now? You don’t get my book in e-form – and my bookgenerates income for me. Think it over. But before you answer,please, please, don’t think I’m stupid – so make your responsebelievable. If you can. That is somewhat shortsighted MOST good writers are publishing in ebook format simply because they KNOW that it is less expensive than publishing print books, and that a well produced and easy to use format is LESS likely to be pirated. Apparently you didnt learn anything from the napster debacle.
Or do you REALLY think there are no more pirated music sites out there. As for publishing your book ONLY in print yeah. Cause print always stays that way, talking about toner and ink costs.
There is no way you are intelligent enough to write more than a childrens book if you believe that heh. How do you think ebooks got started? Heck, i personally know one famous author who is using pirated copies of HIS OWN BOOKS to convert to the digital age. I helped him out with a few of my own that he was having a hard time finding. Guess he published an ebook before he published an ebook erBe smart.
Publish digitally, dont overcharge for your ebooks (9.00 for a digital copy of a book you can buy in paperback for 5bucks, when it costs little to nothing per copy to make a digital version available? Please.) Or throw a bit stink about pirates and giving away your crappy books and sell NOTHING.
Your choice. Nathan, I agree with Worried above. If I were you I would take down both articles immediately or you’re liable to have some real problems on your hands.The print publishers already have major “Piracy Paranoia” and have been pulling their newer titles from companies like OverDrive who supply them to public libraries.
Simple example is all of Tom Clancy’s new titles are not available as e-books in public libraries. The piracy problem could kill the whole idea of e-books.Look at what has happened with recording television shows. Manufacturers no longer make DVD recorders and will never make Blu-ray recorders because of this. They will let you record TV shows, but only if the content stays locked in some device like a Tivo or cable tv box instead of on removable media. It would be unfair to remove this very useful information just cause it may be illegal in some countries.
It would mean that those countries force their laws into others. If for instance criticizing North Korea’s leader is illegal in North Korea, how would the US feel if North Korea had such blogs removed from the web and thus removed from being accessed by Americans in America?See my point?A disclaimer asking citizens of such countries where this is illegal (which makes any intelligent person question actual freedom there) to not read that specific blog entry should be enough. I follow every step til end and have done importing.pdf file in My Digital Editions folder. But DRM is still not removed.When I open the imported file an dialog box appeared “There was an error opening this document.
The security plug-in required by this command is unavailable.”Note: Plug-in below was installed.DeDRM (6.0.7) by DiapDealer, Apprentice Alf, The Dark Reverser and i♥cabbagesRemoves DRM from Amazon Kindle, Adobe Adept (including Kobo), Barnes & Noble, Mobipocket and eReaderebooks. Credit given to i♥cabbages and The Dark Reverser for the original stand-alone scripts. You will get a book to read only if a person is paid to write it and some one else to edit it, someone else to format it, some else to upload it, someone else to host it, and many more people on the way.Now without DRM as is the situation with many non DRM files, get uploaded on torrents or P2P servers or emailed. All this with out paying anyone. This cycle will start a effect where without payment, the writer stops, editor stops and so on.In 10 years would you have writers still???Would You have a book still???. DRM is a pain in the ass for legal users and does not restrict piracy at all. Even if it worked, using an OCR and a scanner or screen captures kills it.I do not want to be restricted to a few particular devices, nor being restricted in the number of times I can lend a book to a friend.
Kindle
It’s much more restrictive than paper books. So I buy the books I read, but only when there’s no DRM or I’m reasonably sure that I can remove it.In my opinion, DRM is a big commercial mistake and favors piracy.
Thanks Nathan. Yeah B&N is really mistaken with that policy. Just realized I didn’t search the web for info on how to move books from my Nook to Calibre through some helper program.@jeffq – Both parties in the USA political system colluded to allow corporations the rights of an individual under far too many circumstances; I’m beginning to dislike corporations too!Almost as annoying as DRM: some sites require the original credit card when you download your books some unspecified amount of time after purchase. That’s a real trick with card companies issuing new cards every 6 months to a year Ah well, I take comfort (some) in the fact that Jeff Bezos now personally owns The Washington Post; at least it wasn’t the Koch brothers 😉. Hey nathan, question for you.
I have a ton of ebooks and i LOVE calibre, but the computer i use it on the screen just died and the only other computer in the house is my school computer which has restrictions on certain file types i guess. I dont really know which ones or why it blocks certain apps and not others, but it has a definite problem with calibre.
Now i can use pdf, kindle, all sorts of programs without a problem but i truly love the one click page turning no matter how big i make my letters or how i shape my screen, im disabled, very poor vision (which is why i dont use print books mr “working writer” above, aka grinch that stole christmas) so even with ebooks i need to be able to increase font sizes and i hate scrolling. Any suggestions on how to get calibre to install or another reader that would work like that with a.exe? (side note, i still cant believe that WW up there thinks that if someone wants to copy his hardcopy book they have to do it with a “copier, toner, and paper” how about a scanner, OCR and converter?
No way hes a writer, maybe a NANO wannabe. Dear allI did as the tutorial told me to. Installed ADE, opened the.acsm file – had to ‘authorize’ my computer though, installed both the epub & pdf plugins in Calibre (no modifications, as is the case with amazon e-books, were required), rebooted Calibre, and added the pdf to my library. When I tried to convert the pdf to mobi, it said it was still DRM protected however.I must be doing something wrong. Is there something I must avoid by all means (such as changing metadata on the file before conversion, or trying to circumvent the authorization)?Thanks for the help, and the otherwise useful tutorial!Kind regardsMatthew. @NathanI noticed you never replied to ‘Worried Writer’, who expressed concern and frustration about people removing DRM and distributing the product to hundreds or millions of others.To give another example, I work at a university and there are several eBooks that sell for around 15 $.
Recently, a publisher complained that sales have dropped to less than 10% of student enrollment. Because the DRM was removed and the eBook freely shared amongst students. How is this fair to the author and publisher?Is this the type of action you are advocating?
Because it is a direct consequence of posts like yours. There have always been thieves in the world. How is it fair to punish the vast majority of society that doesn’t steal by crippling the products they legitimately purchase with senseless restrictions that lock them into a specific vendor or device and take away their right to choose for themselves?As mentioned in the article, this guide is intended for people that choose to have better control over their ebook library. Whether it be cleaning up the formatting mess that some publishers refuse to correct themselves, or transfer purchased ebooks from one platform/device to another. I specifically state that this guide is not indented for piracy and that I don’t condone that in any form whatsoever.People need to take responsibility for their own actions.
There are always going to be people who steal, ebooks included, whether or not guides like this exist or not. People have a right to know the truth and make the decision for themselves. People pirate and steal articles from this website all the time and post them elsewhere representing them as their own. But sadly it is a part of publishing. I’m not going to start requiring passwords from all my visitors to view the full article. Sometimes you have to take the good with the bad and trust people to do the right thing, and try to better educate those that don’t know any better.The people who stole those textbooks need to be held accountable for their actions and informed of the consequences.
Punishing people who simply want to read an ebook that they purchased on the device or app that they choose isn’t the answer. Forcing people to be locked into the Kindle platform and forcing people to use Adobe DRM isn’t going to stop thieves from stealing. It just adds more problems and more risks, like the fact that.
Now anyone who’s ever had to start an Adobe account just in order to read their purchased ebooks has had their password and account info stolen by hackers. Why should anyone have to depend on Adobe to read their purchased ebooks that Adobe had nothing to do with in the first place? Especially when they can’t even be trusted to keep our accounts and information safe.
Publishing as an encrypted ePub does not restrict users. EPub is useable on most readers and devices. DRM is a minor but reasonable restriction that exists to protect the rights of the author and publisher. And it is transparent for the honest person.I completely agree with you that “People need to take responsibility for their own actions.”If your house burns down or you leave your physcal book in a cafe, does the retailer owe you another physical book for free? Then why should they when you loose your eReader? The retailer shouldn’t care — the eReader owner needs to take responsibility.
Yet most retailers maintain a record of your purchases and allow you to download and install another copy of a book just by digitally signing that you legitimately lost your eReader.Getting back to the textbooks. I hope you like socialism. One solution the publisher proposed is to have the university charge every student in the course for the eBook as part of the course fees. Even students who fail have to pay for the book again. Nathan: you need to accept some of the responsibility for this.
You are advocating and teaching people how to break DRM. This is a consequence thereof.
What does my “losing my ereader” have to do with the book file that i purchased from you? Presumably i didnt lose the FILE or i wouldnt b trying to read it on something else? Your metaphor is more like saying “if you lose your reading glasses is the publisher of the book lying on your coffee table required to buy you a new set?” Its a complete nonsequeter. One has nothing to do with another. Being able to read MY book on MY reader, whatever it is, has nothing to do with pirates, anymore than my owning a vcr has to do with people stealing movies.
Maybe your text book publisher should publish its text at a cost commensurate with the actual value of the book, then more people would buy it. Honest people will anyway. College kids are often broke, so if they need the book, and its a public university, it should be provided, if not, include it in the cost of the course, you are probably way way way way overcharging for the course anyway. As for socialism.
Isnt that what they TEACH at most colleges??? Isnt lack of ownership of personal property one of the founding principals of socialism?? Seems to me like you like it just fine. Apples and oranges, and fallacious logic. Digital content is much different. First, if something happens to the computer, I can simply download the content again.
But DRM is much different, and a big money making scam. If I were to go to a retail store and buy a book, I would OWN the book. When anyone “buys” a DRM ebook, you don’t own it; you simply get to USE it. This is a big scam. Really you could think about the “usage purchase” as just that, a fee to read their book on their approved platform. What is sick, is that they charge you almost he full retail price just for the USE; and not full retail because you are not using their paper, facilities, personnel and such for the printing of the hard copy. You notice the price of eBooks rising?
That is because of DRM, and the rape they can inflict upon people now. Now let’s say I want to take the, really rented, book and move to a new and more functional platform FOR READINGWOW, they got me; because they are going to charge me almost full retail AGAIN to use another platform. They are making money hand over fist, with this double charging. So after all is said and done, they have made almost two times the amount of money off me than if I had simply bought a hard copy. DRM IS A MONEY MAKING SCAM. GET A CLUE. To everyone struggling to get a PDF DRM removed, even after doing all the steps.
Try the following:1. Open Calibre.2. Under the preferences tab go to plugins.3. Click on the arrow next to file type plugins4. Double click the DeDRM plugin5. Click Adobe Digital Editions ebooks6.
Click on the green + sign7. Rename file if you want or just click ok.8. Add PDF book as before and it should work.It looks like Calibre sometimes do not add the ADE key and therefore isn’t able to remove the DRM. I was glad to find a solution to this DRM problem. I downloaded the plug-ins but I couldn’t install them. I clicked on “Load plug-in from file” I couldn’t choose the ineptpdf.py because the window in which I should have done it was willing to list only zip files.
Files of type: Plugins (.zip). In general you just click on it and it’ll kind of roll down with all the possibilities (different file formats) among which there’s one that you should click (it says All files or something like that.) The trouble is for me there’s nothing like that. If I click on it I can only see one line rolling down and it’s the “Plugins (.zip)” one.
I’ve never seen anything like that before. I hope I could make myself clear, English is my 2nd language. Any ideas how to solve it? I’d be very grateful.
I was asked to repair a friends Sony PRS-600 Digital Book Reader(bad battery). When I powered it on I get a protected page message when opening any of the books on the device. The files are all of Epub type. I am unable to login to owners Sony account because the Sony reader is her late Husband’s device and she doesn’t know the login details. I followed the instructions and came to the realization that these instructions only work if you have the computer you’re using to de-drm authorized to view Adobe DRM protected content. Or am I confused here.
Nathan, I would like to return this device to her with the books that they purchased in a readable state. Is there anything else I can do to recover the contents of the reader?-Jim. This could be a little tricky because and sent everyone to Kobo, so Sony accounts probably aren’t going to do you much good at this point.
Did the person transfer their account to Kobo? You can basically just start over, and authorize the device with a new Adobe ID, then sideload the books with Adobe Digital Editions after downloading them. Or just remove the DRM and be done with it. If the account hasn’t been transferred to Kobo, the ebooks purchased from Sony have to be downloaded by tomorrow or they disappear forever. You said:“Or just remove the DRM and be done with it.”Well that’s the thing, can I de-DRM the files from my un-authorized laptop that I connect to the USB port on the PRS-600 with your instructions and Apprentice Alf’s tools? My friend’s husband died quite abruptly and left very little info about his email, Adobe, and Sony and several other accounts. She gave me what she thought was a user name and password that I tried on the Sony site without success.
Oh, she told me that he turned on the device one day and received the protected page message and he got frustrated dealing with Sony’s site/people and just let the device sit and eventually the battery died. We can’t transfer the account to Kobo because she isn’t certain how her late husband initially opened the Sony account.
He bought the Reader and books when he was stationed in Afghanistan/Mid East and only started having the protected page problem when he came back to the States to retire. Could it be that the DRM is for that part of the world like DVD’s and won’t work here? Or is it because he used a different (possibly an un-authorized-my friends desktop-)computer to try to view them? (BTW-does this process lock-up the files?)I have never used a reader or E-books before I’m very much a newbie. But the fact that she/they paid for the books and now have no control over their property doesn’t seem right. DRM– managing whose rights?I would really like to unlock these books for her as this Reader was a constant companion of her late husband and would be a memento of him.
Thanks Nathan for your input.-Jim. Unfortunately this method does not work for me. Or, at least, it doesn’t work on the Ebook I tried it on.Firstly I made a mistake when downloading the tool – I neglected to uncheck the box which says to use the adware download tool. If you do this, you get a web installer which tries to get you to agree to install a bunch of bloatware on your machine. Even if you manage to get through all of this, declining each one, it then installs a whole bunch of malware on your machine! My virus checker was going nuts. Eventually I had to pull the plug on my PC to stop the installer, as I could not find its process in task manager and there was no other way to quit it.So make sure you uncheck that box!!!The second time I unchecked the box and I was able to intall the plugin.
The plugin now exists in Calibre and is enabled.However, when I try to import the Adobe Digital Editions PDF that I wanted, it just comes up as an unknown book. So after all that hassle, it doesn’t work for me.Shame!I despise DRM. Anyone can make a pdf of any book. You cut the back in a guillotine, and feed the pages on the scanner. There are scanners today that look like small inkjet printers and do this. They are very fast and produce excellent quality. It might take an hour or two for a book with 1000 pages, but it’s doable.
It does not even destroy the book. You can bind it back using spiral and it will even be easier to read. There is no protection from piracy these days. Build a fan base and they will not pirate the content.How does a musician get a few millions of income from an album release behind a bittorrent paywall when everyone knows the pirated torrent will be online in a few hours? They like your work and they want to do the right thing, even if you are already a millionaire. People are quite fair when treated fairly.
Thank you so much from the very bottom of my heart. I tried for the entire morning to get ADE to recognize my Nook, so I could read ACSM books. I wanted to scream bloody murder at Adobe, the publisher, and NOOK for this BS.Finally, I thoughtthere must be another waywonder if I can convert to epub. A search led me to your instructions, and VOILA!My books are on my Nook and readable. Again, thank you so much. I cannot express the relief I feel at my ordeal being over, and you are responsible for this. After having repeated problems downloading the books I bought from Barnes & Noble, they are no longer even available on my account to download.It is not fair to steal from authors; it is also not fair to steal from reading customers.Following the instructions on this site got me nowhere, even after removing the books from calibre and reloading those I have files for.
Those I did not ever download will be retained by Barnes & Noble at my expense.Unless I can figure out how to get my books downloaded (some of them by long-dead authors like Dickens) and/or converted, I am not going to buy any more e-books from any source. I have pdf books downloaded from Univeristy of Phoenix that have some kind of DRM on them to where you must login with form fields on the first page of the book with a username and password in order to get the book to open. Does this help to remove that process? Because of this, I can’t open the pdf on any device other than a PC.
If this is supposed to help, it’s not. I follow Frank’s directions, but when I open the ADE, there’s nothing in there. I then click the green plus sign and it says no ADE key has been identified.
I click ok and there’s still nothing. Any help would be appreciated.
Free Download Program The Pity Of It All Ebook Readers Free
I would like to add that both Calibre and DeDRM as a standalone software works brilliantly with Adobe Digital Editions DRM pdfs.BUT I am having problems with files that are downloaded AS PDF with an embedded DRM which allows it ONLY to be read on Adobe Reader and not Digital Editions.Both DeDRM and Calibre hasn’t been able to strip those kinds of PDFs, and all the Adobe PDF DRM tools online seem to address only ADE and not Adobe Reader DRMs.This might explain why some have not been successful here.Or am I doing things wrongly too?Thanks. Worked perfectly for Google Books!
Followed step by step and now have a PDF I can do anything with! Recently purchased my first book on google books. Was very disappointed to find that I couldn’t cut or paste any inspirational quotes from the book into my journal. Google has an option to highlight notes & sync them to google documents, but when I tried that all I got was bunch of msgs. That said “Highlighted text cannot be displayed.” Anyways, this took care of my problem. Thank you very much!P.s. Don’t know if it makes any difference, but I’m running the latest version (as of ) of Windows 10.
I’ve downloaded a book with about 130MB (as.pdf) from our online library. I can’t import it in “Adobe Digital Editions (ADE)”. But i can open this DRM protected pdf in “Adobe Reader”. It is also possible to drag&drop it to Calibre. But after the import when i want to open it, PDF-XChange opens up and brings the error message “Error PDF Structure 40: Unknown/unsupported security handler”What i want, is a DRM-FREE import into CALIBRE! I already have the DeDRM Plugin in Calibre and it works fine for all my downloaded.acsm files. I just doubleclick them, then the books get downloaded in ADE and after this i simply can drag&drop them from the ADE Folder to calibre!
How can i do this also with my DRM PDF?But the.pdf is just as a normal download, the whole.pdf (130MB) gets downloaded into my normal Download folder! So it goes not over ADE.
