2023. How to remove DRM from Kindle ebook
Digital Rights Management—or DRM, as it's more affectionately known by absolutely no one—exists to ensure that the digital things you think you own are, in fact, only kind of yours. It’s a cunning little trick, designed to keep all the shiny ebooks, tunes and flicks you’ve shelled out for comfortably locked away in a digital safe, accessible only through a very specific set of hoops—hoops which, as luck would have it, belong to whoever sold you the stuff in the first place. You want your new Kindle ebook? Sure! But you’d better be ready to read it only on a Kindle device or a Kindle app tied directly to your Amazon account. After all, freedom is overrated, isn’t it? ***
2023. Amazon is making it more difficult to remove DRM from Kindle eBooks
Until now, there was a way to use older versions of the Kindle for PC app to obtain the previous format of Kindle ebooks, making it easier to remove the DRM. The newer versions download ebooks in Amazon’s KFX format, which can’t be stripped of DRM (except with certain older versions). Apparently, newly-released Kindle ebooks can no longer be downloaded using older versions of Kindle for PC/Mac, so if you use this method to get your purchased Kindle ebooks to remove the DRM, you’ll encounter issues moving forward. So far, the change only affects new books published from January 3rd, 2023, onward, but it raises questions about how things might evolve in the future and what other measures Amazon might implement to complicate DRM removal.
2012. Calibre DRM removal plugins for Kindle, Nook, Kobo, PDF, EPUB and other ebooks
DRM (Digital rights management) is a technology for access control that is used by ebook publishers and inhibits uses of ebooks that were not desired or foreseen by the content provider. When you buy an e-book with DRM you don't really own it but just have a permission to use it in a manner dictated to you by the seller. DRM limits what you can do with e-books you have "bought". Often people who buy books with DRM are unaware of the extent of these restrictions. These restrictions prevent you from reformating the e-book to your liking, including making stylistic changes like adjusting the font sizes, although there is software that empowers you to do such things for non DRM books. People are often surprised that an e-book they have bought in a particular format cannot be converted to another format if the e-book has DRM. So if you have an Amazon Kindle and buy a EPUB book sold by Barnes and Nobles, you should know that if that e-book has DRM you will not be able to read it on your Kindle. ***
