[...] Tip: Mocht je een eBook met DRM-beveiliging tegen komen dan kan het zijn dat deze niet leesbaar is – ook al heeft iemand het boek voor jou gekocht. Op internet kun je informatie vinden over het verwijderen van DRM. [...]

Hello, my name is Chloe and I am hoping someone may be able to help me with my DRM LIT books. I switched from MS Reader to Kindle because Microsoft will withdraw from ebooks market next summer and even now their customer support does not seem working properly (I have sent a request for new activation allotment twice after used up my allocated 6, but not reply at all).
I researched on-line and found Convert LIT. I am not good at computer things and managed to convert my LIT book into a holder full of HTML files. I tried to assemble them to a book using Mobipocket Creator Home Edition but the book I got lacked certain punctuations.
Could anyone tell me what went wrong and how to rectify it? I am hoping to find out the way to remove DRM from a LIT book without disassembling it first, but if I have to, I can live with that.
Thank you. Chloe Patricia

To foil .vbk DRM on mac os I have too links:

http://pastebin.com/HfdxL4ee (version 1) and
http://pastebin.com/bZyS7RK5 (version 2).

This will get you a very low quality .pdf file with a disclaimer at the top of every page. It may be worth the effort for you though. WARNING: may require you mess around a bit. I don’t really mind the disclaimer (it keeps you honest) but the lack of quality in the .pdf is really too bad.

Good luck all

for vbk, it looks the only way is to get a print to pdf program but the pain is that it allows only 5 pages per print…i have got 3 vbk of around 800 pages each…I cant even dare to do this step 500 times…

sharing is secondary, the important thing is to give flexibility and choice to the person who paid for e-books…there is none in case of vbk..

any suggestion how to convert vbk files to pdf in windows? pls help

Thx I really need to get DRM away from my ebooks, Ubuntu and Kobo ebook readers can not handle DRM – no contact to the reader using Wine and Adobe Digital … I payed for the book but can not read it. Horrible.. I have a DRM PDF book regarding my work (Juvenile alcohol problems) I can not read it.

Have you any idea how to remove DRM from PDFs using Ubuntu ?

Concerning .VBK, It’s appearing like the only option is to get a print to pdf program like doPDF and then combining the pdfs using something like combine pdf. If there were a better way, I’d love to know as well.

I have a Nook, My son bought me a Kindle for Christmas (better battery life). I want to read the dozens of ebooks that bought & paid for onto mu Kindle. The DRM will not allow me. I can not express how angry I am that my property, that I PAID FOR is being held hostage. I should be able to read what I paid for on any device that I wish to.
