DRM

Everything you ever wanted to know about DRM and ebooks, but were afraid to ask.

Do the tools work on books from Kobo?

Alternatively, you may use the Obok calibre plugin to remove DRM from Kobo books downloaded with the Kobo Desktop application (not the Windows Store app) or on an attached E-Ink Kobo reader (but not a Kobo Arc or Kobo Vox). If both are available, ebooks will be read from the attached E-Ink Kobo reader. To import from the desktop application, unplug the Kobo reader. See the Readme file inside the Obok_calibre_plugin folder of the tools archive for further instructions.

        Hot diggity dog, I have now used Calibre Companion to get a book from Calibre on my Linux workstation.
        
        On the workstation: Calibre app -> [Connect/Share] Start Content Server
        On the tablet Calibre Companion App -> Connect to Content Server. Select book to download.
        On the tablet: Kobo App -> Import

        I've just started reading ebooks and have purchased a number of kindle
        books from Amazon.  I would like to "Download & transfer via USB" from my
        Amazon account and then load into Calibre with the DeDRM tools installed.
        When I select a purchased book I get a popup windows that shows:
        
        ..................
        Download & transfer via USB
        
        Select a device from the dropdown
        
        Craig’s Fire TV
        Craig’s Android Device
        Craig’s Kindle Cloud Reader
        Craig’s Kindle for PC
        
        You have selected content that is not compatible with any of your registered devices. Please remove incompatible content from selection for eligible devices to appear.
        ..................
        
        The devices are correct.  I would like to read the purchased books on
        my Android tablet.
        
        What is going on?

“Download and Transfer” is only available to owners of e-ink Kindle devices and Fire tablets (and DeDRM only works in the first case).

You will need to download books using the Kindle for PC software.
