Linux users can install the latest version by running the following command. Import that renamed folder as new books and let it remove DRM. You can download the latest release for Windows and macOS from the Calibre downloads page: Open Calibre which should show empty library. Open Calibre and go into: Preferences -> Plugins -> Load Plugin from file -> Choose DeDRMplugin.zip from the directory you extracted too. But for anything else eBook related, be it stripping paid eBooks of DRM, converting ePub to a different format, editing metadata or cover artwork, syncing with popular devices - Calibre is in a class of its own. Extract the DeDRMcalibreplugin directory inside the zipfile to anywhere. If you’re just after a clean, fuss-free eBook reader for Linux I recommend using Foliate. In fact there’s nothing quite as broad or as featured as Calibre on any system (that I’m aware of). Get Calibre 5.0.1Ĭalibre is popular for a reason: it’s powerful, and it works on Windows, macOS and Linux.

You can see a list of affected plugins on the MobileRead forum where, confusingly, the plugins crossed out HAVE been updated to work with Calibre 5.x, but the non-strikethrough ones haven’t. If a plugin hasn’t been updated to work with Python 3 it probably isn’t a plugin that’s in high demand or critical to use. The e-book viewer in Calibre 5.x also supports vertical and right-to-left text.įinally, because of the Python 3 port, you should be aware that a number of third-party/optional plugins will no longer work.
