Hope someone can help me. Am a new Forum member - and trying to un-DRM my Kindle books as the first step to switching to Kobo.

I downloaded Calibre. (Latest version for Macs is 2.16). Then attempted repeatedly to access the DRM removal plugin from Apprentice Alf's website - K4MobiDeDRM - which, supposedly, can be accessed and downloaded from this weblink -

I've spent a good hour trying to do it - and get error messages saying that it "times out" - i.e. that the website for some reason can't be accessed.

Can anyone help me with this? PLEASE??!!!

Btw the reason I've finally decided to switch from Kindles (I currently have a 1st-gen Paperwhite) to Kobos - is that, today, my 6TH KINDLE FAILED. I treat them well and take care of the - but after 6 hardware failures (Amazon replaced the 1st 5 and then claimed the 6th was out of owarranty) I'm tired of this. (The failures weren't all Paperwhites - several generations of earlier kindles, including a keyboard, also failed).

ANY IDEAS on how to download this DRM Removal Plugin? Is Alf's weblink permanently 'down'? Or are there other DRM-Removal Plugins that do the job as well? Sorry for the noob questions but I've read repeated posts & threads and failed to come up with anything resembling an answer.

THANKS!
