mobi (depends on your device, old devices will always get. Files downloaded by Download and Transfer via USB are downloaded as. The code to do that is not present.Ĭhecking, files download by K4PC or K4Mac are downloaded as. There is no setting in the DeDRM plugin to change the output since the plugin does not do format conversion. I cannot see a setting to change output from mobi to azw3 in the plugin.Īnyone know how to change this, or know where I may be going wrong? I even tested it on the same books that previously converted to azw3. you're right again, I think EPUB is the way to go.I had occasion to use v10.0.1 of the plugin. I also read the following "sub-discussion" regarding the preferable format to keep the drm-free copies of the books and yes. the book itself doesn't look like an e-book strictly speaking, but just a pdf encapsulated into a kindle mobi format. So I couldn't convert to epub or mobi but at least I have a printable-like pdf of the book.Īnd I think you're right.

You rock! Thanks very much for the advice! Converting to epub or mobi didn't work for that specific book, but finally installing the KindleUnpack plugin and using it for extracting directly the PDF worked like a charm. DeDRM sets the wrong extension when run under calibre 5.x)

(Calibre handles this variant only if it has a AZW4 extension. The KindleUnpack plugin can extract the PDF from it if this is the case. It is likely that the garbled appearing book is actually a PDF with a MOBI wrapper. Second, there are several variations of MOBI format. Keeping the original format without DRM is also a good idea. EPUB is probably the best archival format for ebooks. You will be unable to change things later if your device or eyesight changes. PDF locks you into a single screen size, font, and font size. I don't realize why ONLY that book (till now at least, since I tried with just a few books.) can't be convertedįirst, I suggest that you rethink using PDF as your archival format. I was not able to convert that book using Mac versions of both Kindle and Calibre, neither with Windows versions.(but same DeDrm plugin version 10.0.2) There's a book that can't be converted (neither viewed since it takes long for opening the viewing window and at the end is displayed with a mess of unreadable characters) so I'm looking for advice. I made some tests using Calibre (latest version) with DeDrm 10.0.2 plugin and I was able to save a pdf copy of some books (AZW files), but not all of them. Hello I'd like to keep a pdf backup copy (or any other free format) of all my kindle's books "just in case" something could go wrong with kindle in the future.
