From there, go into Calibre's Plugins menu under Preferences and choose Load plugin from file.įrom there, select the unzipped folder, and select the new zip file inside (don't unzip this one). zip file from Github, and unzip the file. To install the DeDRM plugin, simply download the. To be clear, DRM-stripping software should only be used on ebooks you purchased for personal use-it should not be used to infringe on the copyright of the author and/or publisher.
This will ensure that non-Amazon devices and software, like Calibre, can read and edit the files. If you want to get ebooks from Amazon's bookstore to your Calibre library, whether for safekeeping or to get them onto a non-Amazon device, you'll need to remove Amazon's DRM from the files. Finally freeĬalibre lets you manage your ebook library outside of Amazon.
Once you've gotten the automated stuff taken care of, it's time to mess with some plugins to give Calibre some added functionality. To the right of that is a tab that says Automatic Adding, which you can use to let Calibre monitor a particular folder for ebooks and automatically add them straight into your library, then convert them without you having to do anything.
Then, go back to the Preferences menu and select Adding Books under Import/Export The second tab should be titled Adding Actions, and then check the box that says Automatically convert added books to the preferred output format. So, if you're using a Kindle, you'll want to have any ebook converted to a Kindle-friendly format like AZW3 or KFX, or for a Kobo you could just stick to the standard epub.Įither way, once you know what file formats your device supports and what format you want to use, go into Calibre's preferences and select Behavior then set the preferred output format to whichever file type best suits your device. You can even have it automate tasks you'd rather not have to worry about doing manually.Īfter you've downloaded the app to your computer, tablet, or phone, make sure you know what format you want all your ebooks to be in before you start adding them to Calibre. There’s good new and bad news-you'll need to do a bit of work to get Calibre set up, but once all that work is done, you'll have a nice little hub to view, manage, and sync all your e-books to your liking. You'll be happy to have downloaded Calibre.
