In addition, a new pull request on Apprentice Harper's GitHub fixes the macOS problem where key retrieval fails on new installations of Kindle for Mac. So far neither Apprentice Harper nor noDRM has incorporated it into their plugins. If one of them does, it will be good news for Mac users. ETA: noDRM merged the Mac key fix into their plugin, however they haven't released a new version yet and not clear when they will do so. Last edited by odamizu; 11-25-2021 at 02:17 PM. |

So I like that the Apprentices' tools have some speed bumps in that regard. I feel that their clear anti-piracy stance may have helped them to continue along for all this time without getting shut down. |

"I'm lazy and careless" is not a valid case for stripping DRM or PI from ebooks. |

I remove the DRM from library books. After reading I delete all files. I don't justify or make excuses for doing so.

The main issue with removing DRM from B&N purchases is locating the key. Once you have successfully done that, the process seems to work. I will admit that locating the key is a total PITA.

I agree. But not everyone is conscientious about using passwords on their phones or ereaders. There aren't any pat answers.

Not everyone can move to the US. So that's not valid. Bu buying a Kindle is something that doesn't have to be done. A Reader that works with library eBooks is something that can be purchased instead of a Kindle.

Sigh. This USED to be a useful thread. Clearly there are two camps here, and they won't agree or convince each other -- they're just churning the thread without providing any value at all to those of us who have followed it to keep track of updates.

As for the key, when I bought my Surface and installed the Nook app from the Windows store, it seemed to work without any fiddling from me. Not sure if others can confirm my experience. Maybe I was just very lucky? |

I'd suggest that those who want to argue about the merits of removing PII as well as DRM go start a thread to argue about it. And let this long established thread that serves an actual real service to MR members (and lurkers) go back to reporting new versions (of both, if you wish). But I'm not a moderator, so I can't just yank this whole digression over into a new thread.

Does NoDRM handle Print Replica (the latest version of DeDRM does not, apparently it got dropped when Python 2 support was dropped)?
