I never saw the problem on my Mac. It would be interesting to hear whether Alf's new version has fixed the problem for Windows users.

It seems to be fixed. I'm on Windows and just imported 13 books without any problem.

Thank you.

It is supposed to fix the multiple-import problem that some have experienced with recent calibre releases.

Downloadable from Apprentice Alf's blog as usual.

And it fixes that long standing typo in the OS X standalone tools.

Does it remember old settings from an older version? (E.g. serial number of eink kindle)

I don't think the tools being upgraded changes personal settings. At least I've never noticed any plugin upgrade changing settings that I've made on my copy of Calibre.

Yes, it does. I just tested it with some DRMed ePub and it worked as it did before. The key I had in the Kindle section is still there.

Thank you, good info.

Alas, it doesn't seem to work.

Edit: Never mind I figured out what I was doing wrong. I'm out of practice. lol.

Doesn't work at all? Or still can't de-DRM more than 5 books at a time?

It's usually best to first remove the old plugin, restart Calibre, and then reinstall the newest version. I've had problems in the past where installing over old versions didn't work at all, I always uninstall this plugin first now and it avoids the problem.
