Luckily for you, you only have to go through the set up process once in order to remove Kindle, Nook, and Adobe DE DRM. Once you’ve installed the plugin, all you have to do is find where Kindle4PC put the ebooks on your computer and drag each ebook into calibre (everything else is automatic).

But I also believe in controlling the content I buy and that is why I strip the DRM. I did not write it to assist in committing piracy I believe in buying content, when possible.

These instructions are written in order to assist the average user in protecting their purchases.Note that these instructions were written without the permission or participation of Kovid Goyal, the creator of calibre.Note that these instructions are Windows only, and some details will be different between the various versions of Windows.The process is minimally difficult and I’d like to share it with you. But first, a few warnings. I have long been on the side of removing DRM (it’s the best way to protect your purchases), but up until today I had never gone beyond pointing my readers at tools.

It’s the cause of more pain and agony than a Snooki photo, and today I plan to help fix that.
