ebook-convert.exe doesn't work with deDRM plugin, unlike GUI or calibredb.exe
You can use GUI with deDRM plugin to add an encrypted azw book with no problem.
You can also use calibredb.exe: Code:
calibredb.exe add book.azw However, it seems ebook-convert.exe doesn't support plugin, or at least not the deDRM one. It will just error out at mobi6.py L157 due to (obvious) `DRMError`. According to what kovidgoyal said before, I assume ebook-convert.exe is supposed to work exactly the same as conversion from the calibre GUI, so I think it's bug. Thanks for your time! |

Not a bug. DeDRM plugin removes DRM when you add a book to Calibre. Calibre GUI conversion works on the DRM-free book already. If you try to convert an ebook that still has DRM in Calibre GUI, conversion will fail same as ebook-convert.exe

So is it possible to convert a encrypted book directly without adding it to calibre's DB?

Depends on the plugin, see Calibre User Manual: FileTypePlugin.
That plugin must have an on_import method because it runs when a book is added, but to work at conversion time it needs an on_preprocess method, you might need to ask elsewhere about that. BR |

The plugin has added this functionality by default: https://github.com/apprenticeharper/...ools/pull/1241
So once it's released, it would be able to support ebook-convert out of box. |
