I did it this way because it is easier to organize books on machine with GUI. I’m doing this on Ubuntu 20.04 with desktop environment. I checked Ubooquity and some other solutions, but in the end, I went back to Calibre, because it simply fits best my needs. I looked a lot and tested a lot of solutions, and in the end I selected to stick with Calibre. Now, onto our problem… Ebook organization. Really great site, if you haven’t checked it out yet, I highly recommend it. I bought a lot of books there since they started they Book and Comics packs and after some time I figured that I’m getting lost in my collections. They have all kind of great deals on books and comics. At first, I tried to upload my ebooks to Kindle service, but not all books (larger ones) would fit to the service and after some time, I had a mess on my hands, because books would be across devices and directories.Īnd who is to blame for this? Humble Bundle. I have so many books, but my organization is zero. They’re for your personal use only.I have a huge problem I had to address long time ago. Just because the DRM is gone doesn’t mean you’re legally authorized to do so. Remember, don’t post any of the unencrypted documents anywhere. Calibre is powerful enough to do many other formats if you want to use other devices as well. You can now “Save to disk” from the toolbar item to save the books which you’ve converted, and import them into iTunes for use in iBooks. If you have any issues at the decryption step, you should delete your ~/Library/Application Support/Kindle folder and start again.
EBOOK CALIBRE DOWNLOAD
EBOOK CALIBRE SERIAL NUMBER
The decryption key is a product of the serial number for your device, so it’s not difficult to determine. The encryption used on Kindle books is fairly basic.
EBOOK CALIBRE ZIP FILE
Choose the K4MobileDeDRM plugin’s zip file (zip within the main zip don’t extract).Download and decompress the DeDRM archive.
EBOOK CALIBRE INSTALL
Since the Kindle’s eBooks are encrypted, we need to install a decryption plugin to do the heavy lifting there. It’s a bit ugly but it does what it says and works well. I’m specifically focusing on the Mac since that’s all I know other users will have to venture elsewhere.Ĭalibre is a Java application which is an eBook management suite. Since I went through the effort of converting all of my Kindle documents, I figured I’d write a mini guide to getting it done. I could use the Kindle app for iOS but I’ve found iBooks to be faster at syncing read position, and it feels a lot more natural to use. So I’ve converted all of my Kindle purchases to ePubs for use in iBooks. Partly because I forget to charge it, and partly because I can never get the lighting in my favorite reading locations quite right. As time has progressed, I’ve found myself using my physical Kindle less and less. I started off reading eBooks from the Amazon Kindle store.
