I suspect they are just too small fry for anyone to care.

The current version of NoDRM works with all versions of the Kindle for PC application. So, the "last official working copy" is available from Amazon. All file formats that can be imported into Calibre can have DRM removed. You might need to add plugins for the file formats. Step by step (if this too much detail, mods, please nuke whatever is bad):

People who have kept up over the years don't seem to be as affected by the occasional changes/glitches as you are. Noobs and those who only dip their toes in the water every couple of years are always going to be facing a (re)learning curve. Can't be helped. At least not without tipping off those who can make sure the tools won't work any more.

I had to set it up for my wife and my mother, as well. On my mother's PC, the python script to extract the key didn't work for whatever reason, so we had to go the Serial Number route (as an aside, the average end-user has no idea what a "python script" is, so advising to click a tiny executable that pops open a cmd prompt to run a little script-let could look alot like malware to the uninitiated). My wife had it working for some time, then we had to do the DeDRM -> NoDRM migration when she updated Calibre. That went smoothly, but it was a "scary" moment for her, because she didn't want to break it. It is not terribly difficult for me, but I'm a guy who does tech for a living and uses Linux as his primary computing platform--I'm used to this kind of stuff. Other people aren't. Some people just wanna read their books on their platform of choice. And I frequently see the attitude here (and elsewhere, e.g. on Reddit) of people struggling with the instructions and instead being greeted with, "Why is this so hard for you, you brainless moron?" Then we wonder why people are willing to pay $50 for a program that makes the process "easier"... |

A part of problem is that specific, step by step, help is not permitted here at MobileRead. So while "Go to the place where you got the tools for help" might sound brusque, it's only because people ask questions that the MobileRead guidelines clearly say you shouldn't ask here. People repeatedly asking anyway can cause people to be shorter than maybe they want to be at times. MobileRead is not the support site for these tools. You're allowed to speak about them in generalities. You're allowed to say a new version has been released. You're even allowed to post a link to the place where they're available. But MobileRead is not the place to ask for detailed help in getting them set up (or for fixing broken installations).

A good prosecutor could probably overcome these technicalities and diversion techniques by Epubdor, but a good prosecutor has no doubt been working within the court system for years, and knows that it's hardly worth it to even try. Given that the courts are more criminal-friendly than good guy-friendly. |

No need to make it out to be some kind of planned overthrow of the government. But sadly, I know you will probably do exactly that - and more - in your next reply. But remember, you were the one who brought up the question of how Epubdor has been getting away with this for so long. I just provided one theory of why that may be, in answer to you implied question. |

Would that be the stable version, the beta version, or the alpha version. I would think a typical non techie would pick the stable version.

I assumed that a post in these forums invited reply. I also assumed that since moderators here do not identify themselves in their posts or avatars, that they are attempting to appear as regular members and want to participate in discussions as regular members. Might I ask that moderators identify themselves in their avatars, or use the green box for moderator actions, so that forum members know who is and is not a moderator, and when something is a moderator action as opposed to a normal post that is legal to replay to? I know you will probably deem my post here as "questioning moderator action". But it is not. I am only asking for clarification on how members are supposed to know what posts can be responded to, and what posts cannot. |
