Adobe ADEPT DRM for EPUB circumvented - Page 62

dkperez · 12-28-2010, 11:28 AM

I"m TOTALLY baffled.......... I read the first 10 or so pages of this topic, which are very old. Then I read the last 10 trying to figure out what/how/with what works.....

I have a Nook Color. My wife ALSO has a Nook Color. We get books from the library and occasionally from B&N. I probably DON'T need to remove the DRM, but it seems like a good tool to have available should the need ever occur...

I'm running Win 7, 64-bit. SO, I went out and installed Python - v2.7. And pycrypto-2.1.0.win32-ph2.7.zip
Found ineptkey.pyw and ineptepub.pyw and installed those.

Ran ineptkey.pyw and it said it was successful.
Ran ineptepub.pyw, gave it the folder where a ebook was, and a different output directory, and it kicked out:
Error in:<big number>_ePub.v2.epub problem decrypting session key

SO, I downloaded ignoblekey.pyw, ignoblekeygen.pyw, and ignobleepub.pyw.

Ran ignoblekeygen.pyw and it ALSO came back with a sucess.
Ran ignobleepub.pyw and got the following error:
Error: Error -3 while decompressing: invalid block type

Rummaged around in this topic some MORE, and found a reference to "tools_v1.9.zip, which I downloaded, and unzipped.....

Went to the folder of B&N tools and used THOSE versions of ignoble..., and got exactly the same result.

FINALLY, I went out and REMOVED Python 2.7 and pycrypto, and replaced them with Python 2.6 and pycrypto-2.1.0-win32-py2.6.exe

Ran everything again and got the SAME ERROR AGAIN......

SO, clearly, I'm not doing something right......

Can SOMEONE, in a clear, unambiguous, idiot-proof manner, consolidate the mass of information here into a single set of instructions so should I ever need to do this, it'll actually work?

Not here.

But if you wander over to Apprentice Alf's blog, you should find the latest tools, and a place where you can ask questions (if the readmes don't help).

dkperez · 12-28-2010, 03:58 PM

Sorry guys... Didn't intend to get anyone in trouble..... Mostly, I was hoping for some consolidation that'd bring the most current ideas together - not providing the explicit instructions that aren't allowed....

Overall, this is sounding VERY complex (at least given the number of failures I've had so far), and since I don't actually need to implement anything at this time, I think I'd best wait a while.

Given this was the "first year the ebook readers became mainstream" (I don't recall what newscast I saw that on), I figure there will shortly be thousands of new users, the outcry over DRM will get louder, and hopefully the processes for removing it when necessary will get simpler...

Freeshadow · 12-28-2010, 04:30 PM

the rest of us is rather hoping the outcry of a bigger user base becames loud enough to make REMOVAL obsolete.
i.e. the ePub(lishers)* learn the MP3-lesson on their own.

*)with my kindest greetings to all publishers and writers who already KNOW and don't annoy their customers/fans with that crap.
since a lot of them is active on MR they know they are meant by now.
I salute you and wish a X-ing of sneezing and diarrhoea to all pirating your stuff while you are so fair to the people.

Anyone with 64-bit Windows running 64-bit Python needs to dump 64-bit Python for 32-bit Python.

It's a lot simpler now than it has been. For most people the Calibre plug-in for ADE works without any problems or configuration.

KevinH · 12-31-2010, 10:38 AM

FYI: The bug with international file names in epubs has been fixed and can be found in tools_v3.0.zip along with an updated calibre plugins for B&N and Adept ePubs (look at the end of the comments of the last topic on the main Alf page, or at the end of the DR comments).

speedlever · 12-31-2010, 11:21 AM

Hmm. still showing v2.4 at Alf's place.

Edit: I take it back. Must go to post 18 for the tools 3.0 link. I thought he updated the main body when updates came along.

KevinH · 12-31-2010, 11:41 AM

He will eventually but as they say "real life" sometimes gets in the way.

It seems to have been updated now.

I noticed on Alf's site that tools 3.2 is the latest. (Maybe his going away gift?)

I couldn't find a change log for any of them, particularly the ineptkey, ineptepub and inetpdf. I looked on pastebin but didn't find anything there. Has anyone seen what the fixes are?

Also, can anyone enlighten me as the advantages of Python 2.7 vs 2.6. And the advantages of Pycrypto 2.1 vs 2.0.1

I've been using the 2.6/2.0.1 combo for a while with no problems. I was considering trying the newer versions, but if there is no real advantage, I won't bother.

There's no advantage to changing Python or PyCrypto version if what you have is working.

Hi,

I know this is a problem a lot of people are getting but I read thorugh most of this thread and I just can't find a solution to it.
I really hope you guys can help me.

I bought an ebook the other day (epub). They sent me the link and I installed Adobe Digital Editions for the first time to read it.

I opened the link and (as long as I didn't have an Adobe account) I pushed the unauthorised button.
Then, after reading that was necessary to use it in multiple computers, I created an account for ADE.

I went back to ADE and registerd it using my new account (I think I had to push Shift-contrl-D to do it).

After that, I just can't open the book any more. It says that it's lincesed to another user and if I click on the link again, it says: E_LIC_ALREADY_FULFILLED_BY_ANOTHER_USER.

I've tryed to uninstall ADE completely, also deleting the Adept key in the registry and the folder My Digital Editions and clicking on the link again, but it won't work.

The seller of the book says that the only thing they can do is sending me a fresh link to the book (not another book) and that I should uninstall ADE and try it again. Not working!

What am I doing wrong? Is it that i need to do something more to completely uninstall ADE?

Please heeeelp!

Thank you very much!

Short: You're stuffed.

Long: By getting the ebook with an unregistered version of ADE, you tied the book to that computer and that installation of ADE. When you registered your copy of ADE, it stopped being the version to which that ebook is registered. And so it can't open the ebook. You can't strip the DRM from the ebook, as the keys used by ADE are now the ones for your registered installation, not your original installation. (If ADE can't read the ebook, the DRM tools can't removed the DRM either.)

You might just be able to get the retailer to allow you to get a new copy of the ebook (not just a download of the current .acsm file), but I think it unlikely. They would certainly at least have to pay the $0.22 per-book DRM fee to Adobe to do it, and it would probably register as a new sale and they'd also owe the publisher the wholesale price too.

I'm afraid you'll probably have to write this off to experience, and buy the ebook again if you still want to be able to read it.
