![]() In the top left, Calibre will show that the conversion is from EPUB. Right click on the book title, choose “Convert Books” and “convert individually”.Ī screen will come up with a bunch of options that are likely unnecessary. Whether or not the EPUB has DRM, via Adobe and Kobo, or is an unlocked EPUB through a source, like Gutenberg or a forward-thinking author, Calibre can now be used to convert the file into MOBI, a format readable by Kindle, so that you can read the book you purchased.ĭrag or otherwise open the EPUB file in Calibre. This brings you directly to the EPUB file that was downloaded by Adobe Digital Editions for this ebook. Right click on the book title and choose “Show in Finder”. Close the book itself and go back to Bookshelves. Once authorized, the book should then open in Adobe Digital Editions. I have absolutely no idea what happens during that process, but it works. You’ll need to authorize your computer the first time you do this, but there’s an option for doing so without an Adobe ID. This file can only be opened with Adobe Digital Editions (or a reader that supports Adobe’s DRM).ĭrag or otherwise open the ACSM file in Adobe Digital Editions. ![]() This includes its format and the license data associated with Adobe. This is not an ebook, but instead a document containing a fullfillmentToken element with a bunch of information about the ebook. When a ebook is downloaded from your Kobo library, it is saved by default as URLLink.acsm. ![]() Obtain the EPUB file from a Kobo purchase Restart Calibre before loading any books.Use “Load plugin from file” to add the DeDRM_plugin.zip file from its respective directory in the extracted DeDRM folder.Open Calibre, open its preferences, and navigate to “Plugin” under “Advanced.Download and extract the latest ZIP release of DeDRM_tools.Download and install Calibre, an open source ebook manager.Download and install Adobe Digital Editions.So here’s how to remove the DRM on an ebook purchased from Kobo (or elsewhere) so that it can be read on a Kindle. Rather, it is the copying and distribution of ebooks to others after such protection has been removed.īecause of that ruling, I’ll feel comfortable-legally and ethically-following these instructions every time I forget what I had to do the last time to read an EPUB I purchased. The act of infringement underlying the inducement claim, however, is not the removal of DRM protection. I’ll avoid digressing any further and save some thoughts on Amazon and e-readers for another time.Īccording a ruling recapped by the EFF, explaining how to remove the lock from a piece of content is not copyright infringement. If I can’t use another e-reader, I can at least use another book source. I would like to use another reader, but one point of reading digitally is to save natural resources, not burn through them faster by buying more devices. When I purchased a Kindle Voyage 5 years ago, Amazon’s intent was to lock me into their ecosystem as much as possible. You can convert non-DRM locked EPUB files to MOBI using Amazon’s KindleGen tool on the command line, though I’m not sure how robust it is. Kindle primarily supports the more proprietary MOBI and AZW3 formats. If it did, I’m sure it would not support Adobe Digital Editions DRM, as Amazon has its own. The Kindle does not support any type of EPUB file. Only Kobo authorized readers have the ability to open these files. Kobo provides ebooks as EPUB files with DRM applied via Adobe Digital Editions. This allows me to continue to support local shops while also reading books digitally. ![]() Once associated, the store receives some amount of money for any ebook you purchase. A nice part of Kobo is the option to associate your account with an independent bookstore. When an ebook is not available directly through a publisher, I’d like to purchase it through Kobo rather than Amazon. ![]()
