Head is spinning and iBooks is still holding everything hostage
So silly me has bought all my ebooks via iBooks for the last at least 6 years.
I am now done with Apple and have bought an android, and my head is now spinning from trying to get my ebooks onto Calibre to be able to convert them to Kindle. Please tell me there is a way. I'm at the point where my head is stuffed with information that it never thought it needed to know and now I'm either going to have to deal with two phones until I finish this series and then cry over the lost books, or someone will be my saviour and show me the way.


TY in advance, and I have tried searching the forum I swear, but it's been a long week and this is where I break.

Apparently, this is possible via a tool called requiem, which is (for some reason) not included in deDRM.

That's because it doesn't work with current iTunes versions.

It's called Books. Apple changed the name.

It may not be possible to remove the DRM from Apple's eBooks. Requiem works with an older version (I don't know what version) of iTunes and I have no idea if that old version would work to download your eBooks.

Try 3uTools. Worked for me. Although, it has been a while for me and it was sort of hacky.

The website must be made for someone with severe vision problems. It's way too large with one heck of an awful UI.
