Odd DRM exception

ravettb · 10-03-2020, 12:49 AM

I'm trying to remove drm from Amazon ebooks, and I can do it for some and not others.
I have a Mac, the latest OS, the latest Calibre.
I *cannot* remove drm from this book:

Fast Money A Paranormal Women's Fiction Novel (Shelby Nichols Adventure Book 2).azw

even when I use the "download and transfer via usb" tab.

When I look at the plugin info, I get a "bad syntax" message.

Can I fix the syntax? Can someone?

If you have upgraded to calibre 5, the DeDRM plugin is not Python 3 compatible.

Please see this thread: FOR ALL THE OBLIGATORY "DEDRM ISN'T WORKING!!!" POSTS... . You are not alone in your pain.

I expect one of the moderators will soon politely point out to you that Mobileread is not the appropriate place for seeking help removing DRM. You need to post your question on Apprectice Alf's blog.
