Inept Epub DeDRM - ineptepub_vXX_plugin.zip
Requires Calibre version 0.6.44 or higher.
All credit given to I <3 Cabbages for the original standalone scripts.
I had the much easier job of converting them to a Calibre plugin.
This plugin is meant to decrypt Adobe Digital Edition Epubs that are protected
with Adobe's Adept encryption. It is meant to function without having to install
any dependencies... other than having Calibre installed, of course. It will still
work if you have Python and PyCrypto already installed, but they aren't necessary.
Installation:
Go to Calibre's Preferences page... click on the Plugins button. Use the file
dialog button to select the plugin's zip file (ineptepub_vXX_plugin.zip) and
click the 'Add' button. you're done.
Configuration:
When first run, the plugin will attempt to find your Adobe Digital Editions installation
(on Windows and Mac OS's). If successful, it will create an 'adeptkey.der' file and
save it in Calibre's configuration directory. It will use that file on subsequent runs.
If there are already '*.der' files in the directory, the plugin won't attempt to
find the Adobe Digital Editions installation installation.
So if you have Adobe Digital Editions installation installed on the same machine as Calibre...
you are ready to go. If not... keep reading.
If you already have keyfiles generated with I <3 Cabbages' ineptkey.pyw script,
you can put those keyfiles in Calibre's configuration directory. The easiest
way to find the correct directory is to go to Calibre's Preferences page... click
on the 'Miscellaneous' button (looks like a gear), and then click the 'Open Calibre
configuration directory' button. Paste your keyfiles in there. Just make sure that
they have different names and are saved with the '.der' extension (like the ineptkey
script produces). This directory isn't touched when upgrading Calibre, so it's quite
safe to leave them there.
Since there is no Linux version of Adobe Digital Editions, Linux users will have to
obtain a keyfile through other methods and put the file in Calibre's configuration directory.
All keyfiles with a '.der' extension found in Calibre's configuration directory will
be used to attempt to decrypt a book.
** NOTE ** There is no plugin customization data for the Inept Epub DeDRM plugin.
Troubleshooting:
If you find that it's not working for you (imported epubs still have DRM), you can
save a lot of time and trouble by trying to add the epub to Calibre with the command
line tools. This will print out a lot of helpful debugging info that can be copied into
any online help requests. I'm going to ask you to do it first, anyway, so you might
as well get used to it. ;)
Open a command prompt (terminal) and change to the directory where the ebook you're
trying to import resides. Then type the command "calibredb add your_ebook.epub".
Don't type the quotes and obviously change the 'your_ebook.epub' to whatever the
filename of your book is. Copy the resulting output and paste it into any online
help request you make.
** Note: the Mac version of Calibre doesn't install the command line tools by default.
If you go to the 'Preferences' page and click on the miscellaneous button, you'll
see the option to install the command line tools.
