Apprentice Harper afa4ac5716 Starting on Version 7.0 using the work done by others. Completely untested. I will be testing things, but I thought I'd get this base version up for others to give pull requests.
THIS IS ON THE MASTER BRANCH. The Master branch will be Python 3.0 from now on. While Python 2.7 support will not be deliberately broken, all efforts should now focus on Python 3.0 compatibility.

I can see a lot of work has been done. There's more to do. I've bumped the version number of everything I came across to the next major number for Python 3.0 compatibility indication.

Thanks everyone. I hope to update here at least once a week until we have a stable 7.0 release for calibre 5.0

DeDRM tools for ebooks

This is a repository of all the scripts and other tools for removing DRM from ebooks that I could find, committed in date order as best as I could manage. (Except for the Requiem tools for Apple's iBooks, and Convert LIT for Microsoft's .lit ebooks.)

Mostly it tracks the tools released by Apprentice Alf, athough it also includes the individual tools and their histories from before Alf had a blog.

Users should download the latest zip archive. Developers might be interested in forking the repository, as it contains unzipped versions of those tools that are zipped to make the changes over time easier to follow.

For the latest Amazon KFX format, users of the calibre plugin should also install the KFX Input plugin from the standard calibre plugin menu. It's also available from the MobileRead thread here: https://www.mobileread.com/forums/showthread.php?t=291290

I welcome contributions from others to improve these tools, from expanding the range of books handled, improving key retrieval, to just general bug fixes, speed improvements and UI enhancements.

I urge people to read the FAQs. But to cover the most common: Use ADE 2.0.1 to be sure not to get the new DRM scheme that these tools can't handle. Do remember to unzip the downloaded archive to get the plugin. You can't load the whole archive into calibre.

My special thanks to all those developers who have done the hard work of reverse engineering to provide the initial tools.

Apprentice Harper.
