I've just seen that a new DeDRM tool for Mac OS X (10.5 and 10.6) has been released in the usual place.

This time it's an AppleScript that automates running the previously available python scripts, so that removing DRM from your ebooks is now a simple drag&drop operation.

I've tried it out and it seems to work well. It doesn't handle Kindle Topaz, Adobe PDF or Apple ePub, but it's worked for me for Kindle Mobipocket (.azw), other Mobipocket (.prc, .mobi), eReader (.pdb), Barnes & Noble ePub and Adobe ePubs.

I can't provide a link, as Mobileread has sensibly decided to play it safe by not allowing explicit linking or help with DRM removal to avoid any possible legal complications.

But a certain shadowy gentleman's blog provides links, as does the blog of Alf, his so-called "apprentice" (who appears to be the author, according to the splash screen displayed when the script is run).
