DeDRM_App - DeDRM_App.pyw and DeDRM_Drop_Target.bat =========================================================== DeDRM_App.

pyw is a pure python drag and drop application that allows users to dr ag and drop ebooks or folders of ebooks onto the DeDRM_Drop_Target.bat to have t he DRM removed. It repackages all the "tools" python software in one easy to us e program that remembers preferences and settings. It will work without manual configuration for Kindle for PC ebooks and Adobe Dig ital Edition epub and pdf ebooks, when Kindle for PC and/or Adobe Digital Editio ns are installed on the same computer. To remove the DRM from eInk Kindle ebooks, Barnes and Noble epubs, Mobipocket eb ooks and Fictionwise eReader ebooks requires the user to double-click the DeDRM_ Drop_Target.bat file and set some additional Preferences including: eInk Kindle: 16 digit Serial Number Barnes & Noble: key file (bnepubkey.b64) generate using ignoblekeygen.pyw eReader Social DRM: Name:Last 8 digits of CC number MobiPocket: 10 digit PID Once these preferences have been set, the user can simply drag and drop ebooks o nto the DeDRM_Drop_Target to remove the DRM. Note that after setting preferences it is necessary to click on "Set Prefs" button and then quit the application fo r the change in preferences to fully take effect. This program requires that a 32 bit version of Python 2.x (tested with Python 2. 5 through Python 2.7) and PyCrypto be installed on your computer before it will work. See below for where to get theese programs for Windows. Installation -----------0. If you don't already have a correct version of Python and PyCrypto installed, follow the "Installing Python on Windows" and "Installing PyCrypto on Windows" sections below before continuing. 1. Drag the DeDRM_App folder from tools_v6.0.0/DeDRM_Application_Windows to your "My Documents" folder. 2.

This is a free, full version of the Python. It comes with some important additional modules that are not included in the barebones version from www.python.org unless you choose to install everything. 1. Download ActivePython 2.7.X for Windows (x86) (or later 2.7 version for Windo ws (x86) ) from http://www.activestate.com/activepython/downloads. Do not downlo ad the ActivePython 2.7.X for Windows (64-bit, x64) verson, even if you are runn ing 64-bit Windows. 2. When it has finished downloading, run the installer. Accept the default optio ns. Installing PyCrypto on Windows -----------------------------PyCrypto is a set of encryption/decryption routines that work with Python. The s ources are freely available, and compiled versions are available from several so urces. You must install a version that is for 32-bit Windows and Python 2.7. I r ecommend the installer linked from Michael Foord s blog. 1. Download PyCrypto 2.1 for 32bit Windows and Python 2.7 from http://www.voidsp ace.org.uk/python/modules.shtml#pycrypto 2. When it has finished downloading, unzip it. This will produce a file 1.0.win32-py2.7.exe . 3. Double-click pycrypto-2.1.0.win32-py2.7.exe pycrypto-2.

to run it. Accept the default options.

Linux Users =========== The DeDRM_app.pyw script, although not the bat shortcut, should work under Linux . Drag & drop functionality is not available.
