If you're not a fan of GUIs, but you still want to take DRM off of your
|
||
|
|
ebooks, then this guide is for you.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
This guide assumes you are on Linux, but it may very well work on other
|
||
|
|
platforms.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Step-by-step Tutorial
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
#### Install Calibre
|
||
|
|
- Follow [Calibre's installation instructions](https://calibre-ebook.com/download_linux)
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
#### Install plugins
|
||
|
|
- Download the DeDRM `.zip` archive from DeDRM_tools'
|
||
|
|
[latest release](https://github.com/apprenticeharper/DeDRM_tools/releases/latest).
|
||
|
|
Then unzip it.
|
||
|
|
- Add the DeDRM plugin to Calibre:
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
cd *the unzipped DeDRM_tools folder*
|
||
|
|
calibre-customize --add DeDRM_calibre_plugin/DeDRM_plugin.zip
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
- Add the Obok plugin:
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
calibre-customize --add Obok_calibre_plugin/obok_plugin.zip
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
#### Enter your keys
|
||
|
|
- Figure out what format DeDRM wants your key in by looking in
|
||
|
|
[the code that handles that](src/prefs.py).
|
||
|
|
- For Kindle eInk devices, DeDRM expects you to put a list of serial
|
||
|
|
numbers in the `serials` field: `"serials": ["012345689abcdef"]` or
|
||
|
|
`"serials": ["1111111111111111", "2222222222222222"]`.
|
||
|
|
- Now add your keys to `$CALIBRE_CONFIG_DIRECTORY/plugins/dedrm.json`.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
#### Import your books
|
||
|
|
- Make a library folder
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
mkdir library
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
- Add your book(s) with this command:
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
calibredb add /path/to/book.format --with-library=library
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The DRM should be removed from your book, which you can find in the `library`
|
||
|
|
folder.
