You don't need a kindle, a kindle app is fine as I have tested it out before. thought I did use different programs but they were basically convert the book to epub.

@wyldphyre_ 2 ай бұрын

One clarification, and a tip. Firstly, some books can come from Amazon without DRM. TOR, for example, doesn’t put DRM on their books. As for making quicker/simpler, Calibre has some automation features. Somewhere in the setting you can specify a folder that it will auto import books from. Set that up and then if calibre is running and you put books files into that folder they will automatically be imported. There is also a setting in preferences to automatically convert books when importing With that automation in place the process of importing and converting becomes pretty painless, but you’ll still have to download the books individually

If you're having issues with Calibre crashing, it's likely you need a newer version of the deDRM plug it. The current version may be found here: github.com/noDRM/DeDRM_tools/releases/tag/v10.0.3 (you can also find this new link in the description)

Thanks for the very useful video. A hint from my side: As long as you connect your Kobo to your computer, a button "Send to device" appears on calibre. After importing the Kindle ebook into calibre and converting it to a drm-free version, you can just click on the "Send to device" button and the ebook will be automatically uploaded to your Kobo. No need to drag-n-drop it.

This is excellent. I’ve used calibre and Apprentice Alf’s plugin since 2018 but I didn’t know about linking to a kindle device. I’ve just downloaded a kindle book on computer (using an old version of the kindle app because my plugin can’t remove drm from newer books or books downloaded on new app), then dragged and dropped those books into calibre. I’ll get things set up the way you’ve done it to see if it’ll remove the drm on the new books. I’ll be sure to get the same drm plugin you used. That’s a nice recliner, btwv

Yes - me too. I was instantly regretting buying Kobo - there seemed to be fewer books, and generally more expensive, and that really nasty trick of forcing you to preauthorise payment methods for future purchases. But now I can see that I can still buy books on Amazon and just transfer them. It's a shame that Kobo does that preauthorisation forcing move as I shan't be buying many books from them. Thanks for these tips. My 4 Kindles are long since in the graveyard, but my Amazon account still recognises them.

Thanks for making this easy! I don't have a kobo yet but the sheer thought of having to do this for 400+ books kept me from really looking into them despite wanting to make the switch.

@bubbamike 2 ай бұрын

Amazon doesn’t put DRM on the books the publisher does. The same for Kobo, books purchased from the Kobo store also have DRM. That’s why books from Baen and TOR are refreshing as they come without DRM. You should fix the disinformation in your video. But you did a good job on explaining how to remove DRM from Kindle books. Using the NoDRM or DeDRM plugins you can also remove DRM from Kobo books. There are also some plugins that allow you to convert your books to Kepub which is Kobo's preferred format.

This definitely works for getting them on my Kobo Libra, but I do have an issue I'm running into. To start, I don't actually have a kindle so I can't add a serial number to the plug in, yet seemingly it still gets transferred. The issue I have is when actually trying to read the files on my Kobo. Aside from the cover/first page, everything is zoomed in to only show the top left each page, with no option to zoom out, which makes reading manga, or pretty much anything impossible. Would having a kindle serial number fix that, or am I doing something else wrong?

thank-you very much for this video. I'm thinking of leaving the amazon system ( kindle ) due to the proprietary issues on e-books. I have been using Epubor Ultimate to remove the DRM after purchasing books from amazon. Then I can change the file format to whatever I would like. Your dedrm system via calibre is a great idea. I do use calibre as well. So . . . my ultimate question is. If I want to move my entire kindle library from my kindle oasis ( all categorized in genre's ) can I move that entire collection in bulk from calibre ( which all have DRM removed ) to my new Kobo Clara Color ? If, I choose to leave the amazon eco system. This would be so advantageous knowing that using Kobo I can use any formated book and not just be stuck in the amazon eco system.

Great video. Amazon’s prohibition on bulk downloading is a real pain even when you stay in the Amazon universe. When you buy a new Kindle, you have to separately download each and every title in your library to the new Kindle. That takes forever when you have over 1,000 books. I must admit that I don’t know if this applies to just seeing the title thumbnails in your library on the new Kindle without actually downloading the book because I haven’t done it in years. If someone knows if the title thumbnails appear on the new Kindle without having to download the book please let me know. Also, can someone tell me if maps, book covers, etc. come out any clearer on a Kobo than they do on a Kindle. Thanks.

Question. Understand concept of transferring books you already own on Kindle to Kobo. However one author I read is Kindle exclusive and has several long running series. As she adds new books how would I be able to purchase and get on a Kobo? Through a Kindle app on my phone? Or would I have to physically keep a Kindle ereader and go through conversion process everytime she drops a new book? Tried to get this answer directly from Kobo but they said Kindle and Kobo incompatible although we know about the Calibre workaround. This is what the author said about her books in a message to me: Hi great question, because these books are listed in Kindle Unlimited they have to be exclusive to Kindle, so they can only be read on the kindle or through a kindle app. If the Kobo can use the Kindle app then it will work, but if it doesn't have access to the kindle app then you won't be able to read these series on it.

You do know that Amazon maintains a website ? Just buy them on there ! You do need to have purchased a Kindle eink device for this method to work but you don't have to actively use it, I don't even know where mine is and have almost never used it, there are very cheap options, you don't even have to buy a new one. Still a word of caution : it is my understanding that Download and Transfer via USB may not be available for books you did not purchase but borrowed via Kindle Unlimited, which is fair and keep you honest I guess since this method would mean you could keep a book you didn't purchase forever (without it being a gift !).

You still need to activate your Kindle device and bind it to your account, so it has to work at least once !
