DeDRM plugin for calibre (Mac OS X, Windows, and Linux)
-------------------------------------------------------
If you already use calibre, the quickest and easiest way, especially on Windows, to remove DRM from your ebooks is to install the DeDRM plugin from the DeDRM_calibre_plugin folder, following the instructions and configuration directions provided in the ReadMe and the help links.
Once installed and configured, you can simply add a DRM book to calibre and the DeDRMed version will be imported into the calibre database. Note that DRM removal ONLY occurs on import. If you have already imported DRM books you'll need to remove them from calibre and re-import them.
Once installed and configured, you can simply add a DRM book to calibre and the DeDRMed version will be imported into the calibre database. Note that DRM removal only occurs on IMPORT not on CONVERSION or at any other time, not even conversion to other formats. If you have already imported DRM books you'll need to remove them from calibre and re-import them.
These plugins work for Windows, Mac OS X and Linux. For ebooks from Kindle 4 PC and Adobe Digital Editions, Linux users should read the section at the end the DeDRM_plugin_ReadMe.txt file.

Obok plugin for calibre (Mac OS X, Windows)
-------------------------------------------
This plugin allows you to import kePub ebooks from your kobo desktop application. It is separate from the DeDRM application because it has to work in a different way. It will find all the books downloaded to your kobo desktop application, and let you choose which ones to import, removing the DRM as they are imported.
For instructions, see the obok_plugin_ReadMe.txt file in the Obok_calibre_plugin folder.

We do **NOT** recommend the version of Python from python.org.
The version from python.org is not as complete as most normal Python installations on Linux and even Mac OS X. It is missing various Windows specific libraries, does not install the default Tk Widget kit (for graphical user interfaces) unless you select it as an option in the installer, and does not properly update the system PATH environment variable. Therefore using the default python.org build on Windows is simply an exercise in frustration for most Windows users.

In addition, Windows Users need one of PyCrypto OR OpenSSL. Because of potential conflicts with other software, we recommend using PyCrypto.
