All 319 of my Kindle books are now saved on my NAS and unlocked.

I had to re-add my old Kindle Paperwhite device from 2019 to my account to enable downloads, but once done https://github.com/treetrum/amazon-kindle-bulk-downloader worked great.

Then I installed https://github.com/noDRM/DeDRM_tools/releases/tag/v10.0.9 into Calibre, configured my Kindle's Serial Number and imported the downloaded files.

One bulk conversion to epub later and everything that I bought the past 15years is now actually mine - just before Amazon locks shit down further on the 26th.

@foosel just replying here for anyone else to find.

On macOS the top-level DeDRM .zip file wouldn't load into Calibre correctly, it was complaining that the archive didn't have a __init__.py file.

Manually unzipping the top-level archive and only loading the contained DeDRM_plugin.zip file worked as expected, correctly loading into Calibre.

@digitalkrampus @foosel you do have to unzip the DeDRM_tools_*.zip and only import the actual DeDRM_plugin.zip file, per the instructions.

BTW, there are actually 2 plugins in the DeDRM_tools_*.zip file. The second one is Obok_plugin.zip to import Kobo ebooks. And 3 readme text files with specific instructions...

@denix @foosel guess I should’ve read the instructions! 🫠
