A vós funciónavos o DeDRM Tools en Calibre? A min nunca me funcionou en sistemas Linux, nin en Ubuntu, nin en Manjaro nin agora en Mint. Funciona perfectamente en Windows :(

#DeDRM #Calibre

What #DRM tools are people using to ensure they can back up their legally purchased #ebooks these days?

The #DeDRM & #NoDRM plugins for #Calibre that I've found don't seem to be maintained - no new releases since 2022.

There's a new way to liberate purchased Kindle books from Amazon's DRM.

A few points to note:

* Hardcoded to the .com store, but trivial to change to .co.uk
* Uses OCR - so some odd / annoying mistakes - especially around punctuation.
* Every line is wrapped in a `<p>` element - which breaks reflow.

But, other than that, remarkably capable. Once you've got your session token, it only takes a couple of minutes to get an ePub.

#Kindle #DRM #DeDRM #eBook

My brilliant thought process:

Hmm, I need to #deDRM my #Kindle books.
But to do that I need to install old version of Kindle.
But I already have the new version installed.
Oh! I have the junk PC now. I'll install it through Wine.

...Only problem is, even the installer fails to launch. WineDB rates Kindle for PC garbage, anyway.

Yay?

Est ce que quelqu'un saurait où trouver un fork ou archive du projet #DeDRM qui aurait une branche antérieure à ce commit https://github.com/junipermoss/DeDRM_tools/commit/2b46f61eae034752835e219601cefd59af2c5afe
