The DeDRM Calibre plugin is intended to help anyone looking for free software for removing DRM from their purchased Kindle KFX ebooks. How to Convert Kindle KFX to Epub/PDF/Mobi with Calibre How to Convert Kindle KFX to Epub/PDF/Mobi without Installing Plugins Just because the DRM is gone doesn’t mean you’re legally authorized to do so. Remember, don’t post any of the unencrypted documents anywhere. Calibre is powerful enough to do many other formats if you want to use other devices as well. You can now “Save to disk” from the toolbar item to save the books which you’ve converted, and import them into iTunes for use in iBooks. If you have any issues at the decryption step, you should delete your ~/Library/Application Support/Kindle folder and start again. Hit the “OK” button to begin the conversion.Go to the “Page Setup” item in the left list, and configure the conversion as so:.Choose “ePub” as the output format in the top-right of the convert window.Click the “Convert books” toolbar item.Select the books in the Calibre window which you wish to export.Navigate to ~/Library/Application Support/Kindle/My Kindle Content/.At this point, we’ve got all we need, so we can use Calibre to do the conversion. However, iBooks requires ePub, so we need to both decrypt and convert the files.
Kindle eBooks are in the MobiPocket format.
The decryption key is a product of the serial number for your device, so it’s not difficult to determine. The encryption used on Kindle books is fairly basic. Choose the K4MobileDeDRM plugin’s zip file (zip within the main zip don’t extract).Download and decompress the DeDRM archive.
Since the Kindle’s eBooks are encrypted, we need to install a decryption plugin to do the heavy lifting there. It’s a bit ugly but it does what it says and works well. I’m specifically focusing on the Mac since that’s all I know other users will have to venture elsewhere.Ĭalibre is a Java application which is an eBook management suite. Since I went through the effort of converting all of my Kindle documents, I figured I’d write a mini guide to getting it done. I could use the Kindle app for iOS but I’ve found iBooks to be faster at syncing read position, and it feels a lot more natural to use. So I’ve converted all of my Kindle purchases to ePubs for use in iBooks. Partly because I forget to charge it, and partly because I can never get the lighting in my favorite reading locations quite right. As time has progressed, I’ve found myself using my physical Kindle less and less. I started off reading eBooks from the Amazon Kindle store.
