In this post, I am going to show you how to remove DRM using an open source popular eBook Converter Software. If you have any question or concerns about whether is it legal or not you are welcome to see our DRM-Removal Policy.
You may also want to try my other Unswindle (DRM Removal) Method for Kindle if you face any difficulties using Calibre. It will also help you to pass over the Kindle PID part. In fact, the Calibre method is far better and it does support more e-Book extensions of Amazon Kindle Format.
This method is working great but I recommend you also to try the most up-to-date DRM removal method which is DeDRM: Ultimate Calibre DRM Removal Plugin for eBooks.

What is Calibre (DRM Removal) for Kindle Fire Method?

This method is the quickest and easiest way to remove DRM from e-Books by Calibre (Free DRM Removal Tool) through K4MobiDeDRM (Calibre Plugin). You can also get this to work without using Calibre if you install python but it will get harder and take longer which is not necessary.

Calibre can then convert your Kindle e-Books to whatever format you desire. It is meant to function without having to install any dependencies except for Calibre being on your same machine and in the same account as your Kindle for PC or Kindle for Mac application if you are going to remove the DRM from those types of books.
Warning : Do not send the (DRM-Free) content to anybody else and keep it only for self-use and also keep in mind that the purpose of removing DRM is to enjoy your legally purchased Books or Media on other devices.

Credits : Article, Tips and Download links are done by me (Saleem Almajed). But originally the K4 Mobi Tool and Calibre Plugins were created by (DiapDealer) and a special thanks to (Apprentice Alf) for improving the plugin.

This is only legal as long as you are the original owner of the content and you are planning to remove DRM to fully gain the right of ownership NOT for sharing it.

What type of eBooks are supported by this method?

This plugin is meant to remove the DRM from Kindle Fire Books with the extension of :
  • Mobipocket eBook File (.prc/.mobi)
  • Kindle Mobipocket (.azw)
  • Kindle Topaz (.tpz/.azw1)
  • Kindle Print Replica (.azw4)

How to install the 'K4MobiDeDRM' Plugin?

It is so easy to install a Plugin to Calibre but there is something that you should consider when you are installing an Unofficial Calibre Plugin (which is the plugin we use to strip DRM). Actually, I wrote a full tutorial post on How to install a plugin to Calibre successfully. After you have installed 'K4MobiDeDRM' Plugin you should proceed to the next step below to configure it.
In order to run Plugins without Calibre, you will need to install Python for Windows (Mac already comes with Python, but apparently has older versions).

We strongly recommend ActiveState's Active Python 2.7 Community Edition for Windows (x86) 32-bit.

How to Configure the Plugin 'K4MobiDeDRM' to work?

Move your mouse to highlight the plugin (K4MobiDeDRM under the 'File type plugins' category) and click on the 'Customize Plugin' button and a dialog will appear like the Picture Below.
Configuration of the Plugin 'K4MobiDeDRM'

So, you need to enter your Kindle PID into the dialog with your Serial Number which is either 10 Digit PID or 16 Digit PID.

10 Digit PID

Enter your 10 digit PID and If you have more than one PID separate them with a comma (no spaces).

16 Digit PID

If you have a standalone Kindle then enter the 16 digit serial number (these typically begin 'B0..') in the dialog (again separated from the PIDs or other serial numbers with a comma (no spaces).
This configuration is not needed if you only want to decode 'Kindle for PC' or 'Kindle for Mac' books.

Once The plugin is installed and configured, you can simply add a 'DRM-ed eBook' to Calibre and the 'DRM-Free eBook' will be imported into the Calibre Database.

If you've got some Kindle books, you've likely heard that they come with Amazon's Kindle DRM, which locks your books into Kindle devices and kindle reading apps. But as a consumer, when we have already paid these files for money, why should we be stopped from reading them just because we didn't buy a Kindle but an iPad or a Kobo e-ink reader instead? This deeply hurts us. Yes?

So if you want to read Kindle books on non-Kindle devices or apps, the perfect solution is to remove the DRM. And in fact it's also the best way to protect your purchases, helps us read our own books more freely, backup or copy, print or share kindle books with friends.

But, how to? You may have wondered this problem for a long time. Don't worry this article will introduce you 3 ways to remove drm from Kindle books. From here you can liberate your kindle books best.

First things first: Download Kindle books

To begin with, firstly I strongly recommend you get your kindle books prepared on your computer. If you have the Kindle e-ink device, you can just download Kindle books via your Kindle device. If you do not have Kindle device, you have to install Kindle App(Kindle for PC/Mac desktop, or Kindle Cloud Reader web app). Launch the Kindle app, log in with your own amazon account, then all your purchased files in kindle store would be synced. Choose those files you want to deal with, double click on book cover, then downloading begins. Once you have done that, you can close the app, find your downloaded books files at destination folder (kindle content folder location).

Method 2: Remove DRM from Kindle books with Python Scripts

Notice: This method is a little hard to use, so if you are not so familiar with computer or code, I don't think challenging this way is a wise choice.

Nearly all the eBook DRM Removal softwares are Python scripts, including Calibre.

Step 1 Install Python at first.

Firstly you need Python installed on your computer.

Step 2 Install Pycrypto.

Pycrypto is a basic DRM module that all the DRM removal tools are using. Download and install it please.

For Win: pycrypto-2.1.0.win32-py2.6.exe

For Mac: pycrypto-2.6.1.tar.gz

Step 3 Run KindleBooks.pyw.

Run KindleBooks.pyw, then input the information related to Kindle Books: input file, output file, and Kindle.info. As your kindle ebooks has been downloaded to your computer via Kindle for PC/Mac, so it is easy to find the Kindle.info, because it will be created when the desktop application installed.

This method is applied to both beginners and experts. And I highly recommend you get it with a free trial. I do believe after you tried it, you will fall in love with her.

Step 1 download the powerful shareware Epubor Ultimate for PC or Mac to your computer.

Step 2 Run Epubor Ultimate.

Then the kindle books downloaded via Kindle for PC or Mac will be displayed under Kindle column in the left sidebar, while the Kindle books downloaded via Kindle devices will be displayed under Kindle Device column in the left sidebar after connecting Kindle e-ink reader to computer.

Step 3 Rip the Kindle DRM.

Add the Kindle books from the left sidebar to the right main window. Then all the books will be decrypted immediately.
