Here’s the short-short version: You need to get the DeDRM plugin from Apprentice Alf and install it in calibre (and reboot calibre). But I also believe in controlling the content I buy and that is why I strip the DRM. I did not write it to assist in committing piracy I believe in buying content, when possible. These instructions are written in order to assist the average user in protecting their purchases.Note that these instructions were written without the permission or participation of Kovid Goyal, the creator of calibre.Note that these instructions are Windows only, and some details will be different between the various versions of Windows.The process is minimally difficult and I’d like to share it with you. But first, a few warnings. I have long been on the side of removing DRM (it’s the best way to protect your purchases), but up until today I had never gone beyond pointing my readers at tools. It’s the cause of more pain and agony than a Snooki photo, and today I plan to help fix that. They worked for me on that day.ĭRM is the bugaboo of ebooks. Select the book that you want to send to your Kindle and click “Send to Device” from the main application window.Update: These instructions were updated on 11 July 2015. Calibre will then show which books are on your Kindle (with a green tick) and which books have yet to be added (see image below). Plug your Kindle into the computer and wait a few moments for Calibre to recognise that a Device has been connected. You can check that it has been converted by checking the preview window for this book – it will show that it is now formatted for MOBI and EPUB. This will say “1” while it is converting and will return to “0” when the job is finished. At the bottom right-hand corner of Calibre you will notice it says “Jobs”. To read this on a Kindle, select “MOBI” and then click OK (bottom right of the window), as shown below. You can choose the “Output format” from a drop down menu in the top right corner. You will see it appear at the top of your book list in Calibre – see image below.Ĭlick the “Convert books” button in the toolbar at the top of the application window. Among the many things it can do is to convert various ebook file types (e.g., PDF, EPUB, MOBI etc.,) to other file types.Ĭlick on the “Add books”button - this is on the top left corner of the application’s toolbar (see image below).Ĭhoose the file from where you have it saved on your computer.
Calibre is primarily a versatile ebook reader and ebook library management app for both Windows and Mac.
