B&N removed download option on all books in "My Nook" library - Page 53

Fbone · 12-17-2014, 06:11 PM

23 of the 55 Kindle ebooks downloaded have DRM or 42%. What are these authors thinking? Almost all of them were free by self-published authors in KDP Select and KU.

KU books do not shock me... any more than library books.

Remember, this having to add eBooks in small batches or one at a time is for Amazon eBook only. ePub can be added in larger bunches no problem and the DRM will be removed.

Even pre-Calibre 2.x, you had to add Amazon eBooks in small batches. I did no more then 5 at a time and that worked well. Adding too many and some will not have the DRM removed.

I never had any problems prior to Calibre 2.10. That's when the problem started.

I just use the stand alone tools. Always works, and I send them to my automatic add folder

I still don't have problems DeDRMing Amazon books en masse...

Same here with batches of about 20.

The only other time I had trouble was when I tried to do all 2,000 of my B&N books at once!

About a quarter to a third of those didn't get de-DRMed.

Today 2 of 11 had DRM that's about 18%. Much better numbers.

I still have trouble. piperclassique, what do you mean about using the stand alone tools?

If you look in the zip you downloaded with the plugin, it has a couple other methods included as alternatives.

One of which is a drop target. Put the shortcut on your desktop, then after you configure it, just drag the books to the shortcut, and it creates ebooks without DRM from them.

I use that method instead of Caliber plugins.

Yes, that's what I do. You need to read the instructions carefully first, there is as I recall a python script to install, then it's very easy to use, Just drag and drop.

In case anyone hasn't seen the separate thread, the new version of the tools (6.1.0) has fixed the problem of batch imports.

Yes, you have to install ActiveState Python and PyCrypto first.

Did they change something in their DRM recently (as in just in the last week)? I have never had problems removing the DRM from my B&N books before... and the book I just purchased? Nope. Nothing. Won't take the DRM off for anything. Very frustrating.
