Ivan Lazar Miljenovic ef59e112c1 Set PYTHONPATH="" when running through wine
Without this, it's possible for the Linux PYTHONPATH to leak through
and mixing up the PyCrypto libraries being called (or possibly
exceeding the allowed length of the PYTHONPATH in wine).

[Guide] How to remove DRM

Refer to Wiki Page

calibre 5.0

Yes, we know that the plugin doesn't work with calibre 5.0. It will eventually, but there's a lot of code to be translated that does complicated stuff with bits and bytes that must be converted by hand. It'll take a while.

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.
