This ReadMe_First.txt is meant to give users a quick overview of what is available and how to get started. This document is part of the Tools v6.4.4 archive from Apprentice Alf's Blog: http://apprenticealf.wordpress.com/
The is archive includes tools to remove DRM from:
- Kindle ebooks (from Kindle for Mac/PC, eInk Kindles and Kindle for Android).
- Kindle ebooks (from Kindle for Mac/PC and eInk Kindles).
- Barnes and Noble ePubs
- Adobe Digital Editions ePubs (including Kobo and Google ePubs downloaded to ADE)
- Adobe Digital Editions (v2.0.1*) ePubs (including Kobo and Google ePubs downloaded to ADE)
- Kobo kePubs from the Kobo Desktop application
- Adobe Digital Editions PDFs
- Adobe Digital Editions (v2.0.1) PDFs
- Mobipocket ebooks
- eReader PDB books
- Scuolabooks (Link to solution by Hex)
These tools do NOT work with Apple's iBooks FairPlay DRM (see end of this file.)
* With Adobe Digital Editions 3.0 and later, Adobe have introduced a new, optional, DRM scheme. To avoid this new scheme, you should use Adobe Digital Editions 2.0.1. Some books are required to use the new DRM scheme and so will not download with ADE 2.0.1. If you still want such a book, you will need to use ADE 3.0 or later to download it, but you should remember that no tools to remove Adobe's new DRM scheme exist as of June 2016.

Just install the DeDRM plugin from the DeDRM_calibre_plugin folder, following the instructions and configuration directions provided in the ReadMe file and the help links in the plugin's configuration dialogs.
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.

We do **NOT** recommend the version of Python from python.org as it is missing various Windows specific libraries, does not install the Tk Widget kit (for graphical user interfaces) by default, 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.
Note that currently (June 2016) ActiveState Python puts the tcl library in the wrong place, and it needs to be manually moved. See this thread at activestate.com for the latest information: https://community.activestate.com/node/19090
