IIRC, Apprentice Alf set up a blog with explanations and links to places to download the latest version (which was usually whatever fileshare site was still working!)Īnd Apprentice Harper set up a gihub account with all the versions back to The Dark Reverser's mobipocket script in the history, giving a stable place to find the latest version. Then there was I♥CABBAGES who released DRM removal for Adobe ebooks.Īnd then there were many others who improved the tools, including decrypting and decoding Amazon's Topaz and decrypting KFX files.Īnd the people who worked on decrypting Kobo books from the Kobo app. Or was Apprentice Harper involved all along? (Don't know the history.)As I recall, the first was "The Dark Reverser" who release a python script for removing DRM from Mobipocket ebooks. I feel like I need to find some way to thank Apprentice Alf for all his work. P.S.Thanks for the clarification I inadvertently added an extra layer of confusion. Thanks! Seems to be a workable solution that needs more hype! Is this method common knowledge, and if so, could an Apprentice (or MASTER!) publish about it please somewhere easily retrieved, because Google research does not lead to this conclusion and it's a common unanswered question I see on many comment sections around the community. But I think that's wrong, because I just successfully converted VBK to EPUB with nice formatting by reassigning the file in the metadata as an AZW3.

There is almost nothing written about this every forum says to use a different program. Y'all, big question and request for someone in the know preferably Apprentice: I have tried for many hours to research using Calibre to convert Vitalsource's VBK format to other formats, although Calibre does not officially recognize the format. I'm not sure if this is the best forum to ask but users like me are looking for a published answer to a common problem with Calibre.
