DRM block on my book!!


Calibre has put DRM block on my own book I was processing.
I discovered it when I wanted to preview.
How should I do?
It is visible without problems on Kindle Preview.
is the new version of Calibre that I downloaded this morning ??
I'm angry. It is not reliable.

Calibre doesn't put any blocks on books, DRM or otherwise. If you got the DRM error, then the book must have had DRM before you added it to Calibre.

We will need more information in order to determine what has gone wrong in your case. As Sirtel wrote, calibre does not add DRM to books.

Is this a book you created yourself using calibre or one you imported from somewhere else?

Please describe e-book format involved, where it came from, the steps you took that led to the error, and error message that you received as a result.

As others have said, there's nowhere near enough information here to try to help. I'm going to take a wild stab in the dark and point you to this.

No, this is MY book. MY Book.
Which had no DRM, even because I don't even know how to do it!
I was preparing my book to send to Applebook.
Let's not start with the hypotheses that don't center anything.
Calibre put meaningless DRM block.
I ask the developer to give the answers, since on the site there is no expansibility to report a bug. Big bug.

As I said, it's MY BOOK. Without any DRM.
I have a screenshot. How I can put it?

As others have said, calibre does not have the ability to add DRM to your book so blaming calibre or it's developers is not going to help.

If you have no issues with doing so, you can attach your book to this thread using the paperclip tool.

If you really want to add a bug report, use the calibre-Bugs link on the main calibre website. See the attached image.

No, it didn't.

You still haven't answered the questions asked earlier in the thread. No one here can help you until you have detailed your problem step by step. Exact format of book. Version of Calibre and where you downloaded it from. How you created the book. EVERY step you did that led to the error message you received. The exact error message.

Calibre did not add DRM to your book. I get that something unexpected has happened, and that you're panicking/upset about it. But no one here can help you unless you take the first step to ask properly.
