But what you have is still usable.
People seem to believe that UP conversion, always improves something. It does not. Anything NOT in the source is a GUESS by the up converter. (Some guesses are pretty good. Some suck.) And Calibre can and does EMBED metadata without converting |

If it's an original KF8, I prefer loading it into the editor and editing it by hand. |

I am even more confused now. Last I heard ages ago was to stick with an earlier version of Calibre as the newer ones were not compatible with conversion.
So now they are...... and if I decide to upgrade I just click on the latest one it shows available on calibres screen? And will Google show me where NoDrm is then? I always update my pc programs but with Calibre I get worried about messing up |

I am still confused: Conversion IS part of Calibre. Or are you using the KFX plugins to up convert?
There are OLDER plugins that are not maintained that will no longer work with newer Calibre Major versions. Preferences:getplugins: (select installed at the top to see if what you have installed): The Calibre column list the required version to run There are links to the No DRM site on MR (that is allowed, so here you are) https://github.com/noDRM/DeDRM_tools/releases |

Instead of using their link, I would simply use the link posted in message #20 ( https://github.com/noDRM/DeDRM_tools/releases to download the latest version. Download the .zip file, extract the two .zip files inside it and use Calibre => Preferences => Plugins => Load plugin from file to install them. If you have any issues, this is about as far as we can go on MobileRead so you will have to use Discussions on NoDRM's github for further help. Last edited by DNSB; 08-28-2023 at 02:42 PM. |

Conversion, yes, but there was a brief period when deDRM didn't work with new versions of Calibre. That was a long time ago, though.

Such a lot of help here but getting so confused
I tried new things a year ago when I upgraded to Windows 11 and lost Documents folder,when I decided to move it to create more space on D Drive! PC still works well but am still mad at myself. I thought that webpage I found seemed to give me clear instructions how to add the converion plug in. But clicking on the one you suggested just tells to to download DeDRM_tools_10.0.3.zip Not what to do with it Or even if to delete the Alf one? Sorry to be ignorant but am an oldie and not sure. If I find instructions for anything I always print them out so not to make mistakes |
