Dealing with Kindle ebooks in calibre

You should create a Pull Request on noDRM's GitHub. If you do that, you can update the whole thing so it's exactly the way you think it should be for noDRM to review. (I do mean a opening Pull Request where you do the work, not posting an Issue.)

You can even create your own GitHub with complete DeDRM instructions just the way you think they should be. You don't have to fork or include a plugin — your GitHub can just be the written instructions with links back to noDRM's plugin.

Too much work for too little gain.

The first post says to "Look for ebooks in User > Library > Containers > Kindle > Data > Library > eBooks." None of these folders are on my Mac Sonoma. Any other ideas?

What version Kindle for Mac are you using?

7.22 Amazon wouldn't let me download any books until I updated to their newest version from the Mac store.

Yes, 7.x is the only version you can download with. If you don't see any of the folders, you may have hidden your Library folder.

Click on your Desktop, then in the Finder menu bar select Go > Home. Then, in the Home window, right-click to open the contextual menu, select Show View Options, then check "Show Library Folder" at the bottom.

That should reveal your Library folder. Inside that Library folder you should find Containers > Kindle > Data > Library > eBooks.

I must have really hidden it! I can get to the contextual menu (where it lists my name at the top and shows a list of various system folders?). But there is no "Show Library" folder at the bottom. Thanks so much for your help.
