(These scripts require that you install Python on your system, which is something outsite the scope of this howto.
AMAZON KINDLE DRM REMOVAL ZIP FILE
zip file contains mobidedrm.py, mobidedrm2.py, kindlepid.py and mobihuff.py. I’ve hosted them from my site so that they won’t expire. Step 4) Download MobiDeDRM.zip, which is a small suite of Python scripts that some kind soul wrote and then distributed through links that expire all the time and can be kind of a pain to track down. Click ‘Download to computer’ and you’ll get a file named ‘Title-of-Book.azw’ The Kindle Downloads page will list all the books they’ve purchased, and yours should be right at the top.

Except that they won’t sell them to you unless you have already purchased a $400ish Kindle on which to read them. It’s generally easier just to illegally download them from torrent sites.Īmazon has tons and tons of books available for Kindle, and have chosen the standard MobiPocket format as the one their reader uses, meaning it is theoretically trivial to purchase them and convert them to something else. Sometimes they have the book, but not in a format I can do anything with. I like to read books in an electronic form on my iPhone, but find that it’s pretty hard to come by them legally there are many different sellers and formats, some of which have certain books but not others. Converting Kindle Books: a painful process that works for reading Kindle books without a Kindleĭ recently bought one of those new-fangled Amazon Kindle thingies for purchasing and reading books in an electronic form.
