You'll notice that each book has several files associated with it. Now head back to File Explorer and navigate to the area on your Kindle that stores your books. Click Close, then OK – you should now be back at the Calibre Preferences Plugins window – click Apply in the top right.

Select the first entry 'eInk Kindle ebooks', then click the green plus button in the new window.Ī small empty window will pop up, and this needs your Kindle's serial number.įinding the serial number varies depending on the version of Kindle you're using – on our older 4th Gen Kindle, the serial number was found on page two of the Kindle's 'Settings' screen. You'll see the DeDRM plugin double click it. Head back into Calibre's Preferences menu, then go to Advanced, then Plugins, then double click the line called 'File type plugins'. However, Kindle users will need to jump through a few extra hoop first. Using File Explorer, drag and drop the e-Books from your e-Reader into Calibre's main window, and all that nasty DRM will be stripped out. If you're taking books off your e-Reader, plug it into your PC via USB. If you already have your books stored on your PC, simply drag and drop them into Calibre's main window. Now that all of the hard work is done, you can simply remove DRM by importing books into Calibre's library.
