remove drm from epub
ok so i have removed the drm from the epub books that i bought using sonys ebook store. i want to put these onto my kindle once i get it so im told i need to put the books into mobi format. however when i use calibre to try and do that it gives me an error message saying WARNING: Could not convert some books: Could not convert 13 of 13 books, because no suitable source format was found. the files are not corrupted because i can read them using adobe digital editions. anyone have any idea why it won't work?

Not a very informative title and it probably belongs in the Calibre group for better experts. But a couple of questions. Did you try it one at a time to see what the error message be? Did you try reading it will Calibre reader to see what the error message might be?

then it is still not a correct ePUB. yes you do have to have an ePUB extension. This is a must but a good ePUB file must also have a mimetype in clear text at the beginning of the file. It was probably reassembled incorrectly after the DRM removal. Dale |
