how remove text from purchased mobi or azw3 ?

Dyxan · 05-04-2019, 04:31 AM

Hello all,
I happen to purchase few ebooks in mobi and azw3 formats and than to convert them in calibre to PDF format.
In the PDF file to my surprise

i found my name and email adress identification like (purchased at on ... by.. Name.. email adress). I do not like to have this identification there, is there any simple 1-2 click way to remove this identification allready in the AZW3 or mobi original file?
Sure I can remove it f.e. manually by INFIX in the resulting PDF, though I would like to do it allready in the source file...

thx in advance for any usefull ideas

AFAIK, Amazon doesn't support social watermarking. The OP most likely got his books from another vendor.

@Dyxan If you indeed bought the book on Amazon, please provide a product URL.

i have had e-book bundles from humble bundle, which come in muitiple formats. I think its just old style mobi + epub though. I use the send to kindle option on the purchase page for the mobi and direct download for the epub for calibre.

I am pretty sure its all DRM free already at that point, and I have never noticed any watermarking when tweaking them to make copies for reading with my preferred styles
