For All the "DeDRM Isn't Working!!!" Posts...
Calibre 5.x requires DeDRM 7.1.0 or later
Calibre 4.23 requires DeDRM 6.8.x DeDRM 7.1.0 mostly works OK. If you come across a book for which it doesn't work, drop back to 4.23 and 6.8.x. Here's a method that lets you run 5.x and 4.23 side-by-side on Windows: 1. Grab an older version of Calibre Portable. 2. Extract it wherever. 3. Exit your main Calibre beforehand. Open Calibre Portable. 4. Install the DeDRM plugin. 5. Copy your settings (C:\Users\[User]\AppData\Roaming\calibre\plugins\dedrm.json) over to [PortableInstallationFolder]\Calibre Settings\plugins\ so that the keys are available. 6. Now there are two options from here. OPTION ONE (Best for small libraries with few plugins): a) Open your current library in Calibre Portable. Only do this on 4.23 as otherwise the databases aren't quite compatible with 5.x. (Note that since the portable version is 32-bit, it may have difficulty with very large libraries.) b) DeDRM your books. c) Close Calibre Portable. Open your main Calibre. d) Enjoy your DeDRM'd book. OPTION TWO (Best for larger libraries with multiple plugins): a) DeDRM your books. b) Exit Calibre Portable. Open your main Calibre. c) Use Add Book. Navigate to your Calibre Portable's library and add the eBook file. d) Enjoy your DeDRM'd book. Hope this cuts down on the number of posts made about this.

THis is exactly what I am going to do once I install Calibre 5.x.

Use older version of DeDRM that still works as standalone application. |

Wish I'd have seen this before upgrading -- I wouldn't have upgraded yet -- no rush here.
![]() EDIT: Looks like the library was compatible, so it was easy to roll back. I've removed it from my homebrew install and manually installed for now to avoid future unwanted updates. Last edited by twowheels; 09-25-2020 at 03:02 PM. |

You can downgrade back to 4.23. The installers are all available on Fosshub from the first post.

I take it this means The Tools will not work in Calibre 5? Just downloaded but haven't installed it yet. And is anybody running it on Windows 7? I've been using version 4.13 which is not supposed to be Win7 compliant but so far have had no issues. Gonna get me an older backup version just in case.

Or downgrade to 4.23.0. Not really anything in 5.0 that interests me right now.

That's odd, downgrading shouldn't result in two Calibres (unless you grabbed a different bit-version).
