Remove DRM epub and kindle: Beware of "free" tools - lesen.net

25 June 2013 – From John

adobe drm remove Removing the DRM from Kindle eBooks as epub e-book is popular, copy the usability and handling of e-books but significantly restricts . Looking for the right tools, but be careful: With a wrong click can quickly begin to viruses or malware, including providers of dubious software suites smell a good deal

.

The majority of Kindle Books, like most current epub e-books (8 of 10 Weltbild.de the current e-book charts) provided with a “hard” copy – Amazon and Apple put on their own solutions, “open “e-book stores work with Adobe Adept. Copy-protected e-books have a number of disadvantages: is the reading of encrypted epub files an extra registration with Adobe necessary for the management and transmission need your own software like the little intuitive Adobe Digital Editions, the number of usable devices is limited . A major sticking point is the non-convertibility, the change in the ecosystem for a snare in particular: Without removing the DRM purchased from Amazon.de e-books can not be geschmökert on devices that do not belong to the Kindle family. Conversely, the Kindle does not understand with epub files, a conversion to mobile format is Adobe’s copy protection in the way.

Remove DRM

: The business of tool vendors

The most common way leads interested on Google. For relevant search terms here are info pages with unique names like epubdrmentfernen.com top of that offer to remove copy protection from harsh Kindle Books and e-books epub download a tool. Unlike often suggests the programs offered (epubsoft, Epubor and others), however, are not free: in fact, it is shareware that after a certain number of conversions or after a trial period to continue using a payment of usually 30-50 dollars require.

German sites about are probably not of the tool vendors themselves, but advertising partners (affiliates) who get a revenue per transaction fee of up to 75%. The high payout is also possible because the technology behind the DRM removal does not stem from the “developers”, but the free DeDRM Calibre plugin by Apprentice Alf removed and a simple GUI (user interface) supplemented and was provided with price tag. The tool vendors who remain anonymous (no contact pages, anonymously registered domains), pirate Center here so to speak. Since there is a certain irony that the DRM removal tools are self pirateriert, a Google search for software name + Crack spits out dozens of pages with scripts that pretend to a paid unlocking tools.

When you visit these sites, however, caution is advised: The message of the movie4k.to borne malware is only the most obvious example, an Internet-base can flourish. Even the blog of Apprentice Alf warns when downloading the DeDRM Calibre plugin before, not on the “wrong” download button to click (pictured above) and thus capturing unwanted software.

removing DRM epub and kindle in Germany illegally

Who

“liberate” his e-books would thus need at least initially, good nerves and a certain Internet expertise that is certainly not present in each e-book entry. The ambiguity of the offer is a good reason: The removal of copy protection is illegal in many countries, including Germany. § 95a of the German Copyright Act is clear here: “Effective measures for the protection of a work protected under this Act or any other protected subject matter protected under this Act without the consent of the right holder may not be circumvented (…)”

.

bad publicity for e-book purchase

The status quo would actually be unsatisfactory for all: Just technically little fogged reader despair when dealing primarily with Adobe DRM and quickly catch the attempt to remove a virus or malware – or be asked by dubious wheeler to the checkout. And publishers and distributors scare so the reader exactly friends, currently pay for e-books. After negative experiences with purchased DRM e-books, the next title could be obtained directly from an e-book warez site, the files “from from home” 100% DRM-free and are pure.
