It is available for Windows, Mac OS X and Linux.Ĭalibre cannot, on its own, remove DRM from ebooks. you're right again, I think EPUB is the way to go.Calibre is a free, open source, ebook management and conversion utility created and maintained by Kovid Goyal.

the book itself doesn't look like an e-book strictly speaking, but just a pdf encapsulated into a kindle mobi format. So I couldn't convert to epub or mobi but at least I have a printable-like pdf of the book.Īnd I think you're right. You rock! Thanks very much for the advice! Converting to epub or mobi didn't work for that specific book, but finally installing the KindleUnpack plugin and using it for extracting directly the PDF worked like a charm.

DeDRM sets the wrong extension when run under calibre 5.x) (Calibre handles this variant only if it has a AZW4 extension. The KindleUnpack plugin can extract the PDF from it if this is the case.

It is likely that the garbled appearing book is actually a PDF with a MOBI wrapper. Second, there are several variations of MOBI format. Keeping the original format without DRM is also a good idea. EPUB is probably the best archival format for ebooks. You will be unable to change things later if your device or eyesight changes. PDF locks you into a single screen size, font, and font size. I don't realize why ONLY that book (till now at least, since I tried with just a few books.) can't be convertedįirst, I suggest that you rethink using PDF as your archival format. I was not able to convert that book using Mac versions of both Kindle and Calibre, neither with Windows versions.(but same DeDrm plugin version 10.0.2) There's a book that can't be converted (neither viewed since it takes long for opening the viewing window and at the end is displayed with a mess of unreadable characters) so I'm looking for advice.

I made some tests using Calibre (latest version) with DeDrm 10.0.2 plugin and I was able to save a pdf copy of some books (AZW files), but not all of them. Hello I'd like to keep a pdf backup copy (or any other free format) of all my kindle's books "just in case" something could go wrong with kindle in the future.
