While it’s being installed, go to the Apprentice Alf website and download the ZIP file full of plugins. UnZip the ZIP file you just downloaded.Open the folder called calibre and you should see a folder full of plugins. When it’s open, look at the icons on the top row. There’s one on the far right called “Preferences”. It will bring up a new window with a bunch of icons.Look on the bottom row for the one that says “plugins”. Use the file browser window to find the folder you downloaded.Ĭlick on the one that says “load plugin from file”.Open it, and then open the DeDRM_calibre_plugin folder. There should only be a single ZIP file in that folder, and it should be called “DeDRM_plugin”.Some times the plugin won’t kick in until you after you do this. You’ve just installed and configured the plugin (assuming all went well). You should be able to copy any ebook you’ve downloaded from the K4PC app to calibre.

Calibre should now be able to read the ebooks and convert them to whatever format you prefer.īut before you can do that you’ll need to find out where the Kindle ebooks are stored. This varies depending on which version of Windows you’re running, but they can usually be found under the My Documents folder. I’m looking at my Win 7 laptop right now and the Kindle ebooks are found in “My Kindle Content” under My Documents.Īfter you copy the files into calibre, you might have some trouble getting calibre to open them so you can read them. Windows will need to be told that calibre can open the files. This should only happen once, so it’s a relatively minor issue.

Note that if you simply convert the ebooks to Epub, you won’t have this issue. If you believe in controlling the content you buy, you should start saying the politicians that represent you that they should make laws that allow citizens to break DRM for lawful purposes or stop buying content with DRM. It does not matter if you bought the content.

If someone breaks the DRM, one’s breaking the law and one’s being a “pirate”.īecause the whole purpose of the legal protection to DRM was not to prevent piracy.
