Where can I find the Calibre de-DRM plug-in?
Is it easy for a person with no computer experience (me) to apply?
It's easy to install and use provided you can follow instructions.
I should start off by saying that this is not recognized as an official Calibre plug-in so it doesn't come up as one of the options when you click the "Get New Plugins" link in Calibre.
The link to get the latest version of the files (updated in January) is
https://apprenticealf.wordpress.com/
This will download a zipfile to your system. Inside the zipfile are several folders depending on how you want to use the plugin - for Calibre, for Mac, for Windows, etc. Click the Readme_first.txt file initially to get started.
There is a bit of jargon but essentially it tells you to extract the calibre plugin folder to your HDD, read the textfile inside it, and follow those instructions. Then all you have to do is start Calibre and follow the instructions under "Installation" and you're done. Once it's installed, you can customize it to your own needs.
I've only worked with this program within Calibre, though there are standalone versions included in the zipfile. Anyone wanting to use those is on their own.
P.S. To go back to Silvermoon424 - According to the readme, the Calibre plug-in does work on both Mac and PC.
I have the Apprentice Alf DeDRM zip file and Calibre v. 2.55. When I click Preferences, Get plugins to enhance calibre, from the 'User Plugins' window...there is no way to "Load plugin from file". I have also tried to unzip the DeDRM zip file into my calibre2/plugins2 folder and that does not work. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
