Need to update plugins

Kaysclie · 02-14-2021, 11:20 PM

I am very much behind the times with my DRM Removal Plugins. I have downloaded the newer ones but that's all so far. Currently I am using Calibre 4.0. Should I update my Calibre to the newest version before unzipping and activating the DRM plugins? I am so tired of not being able to convert my kindle books to epub so that I can again read on my forma.

I am still using Calibre 4.X and am able to strip DRM and convert to epub from my Amazon purchases. I just striped the DRM from 23 books yesterday. I had been remiss in downloading them.

Apache

I use the latest Calibre with the plugin 7.0. Works for me.

I'm using the latest 5.x with the latest 7.0.3 plugin code. It's slightly newer then the 7.0.3 plugin ZIP at the Alf blog.

I thought that I just updated my calibre plugins to 6.8.1 and am still on calibre 4.0. But still cannot convert kindle books to epub. Is there any way that I can tell if the updated plugins took? I did restart my computer.

Did you delete the books from calibre and re-import them? Are you trying to import KFX books from a version of Kindle4PC or Kindle4Mac newer than 1.26? Have you tried asking on Apprentice Harper's blog?

It looks like my brain got muddled from all the dithering that I was doing trying to get the calibre plugins to download correctly. My errors...I had only done this once before and that was years ago...so I forgot a few things. And then I completely forgot how to import the ebooks the right way into calibre. All seems to be working right now and I can convert my ebooks again...if I remember to take my time and do it the right way!
