These tools are intended for purchased books.

These tools are intended for purchased books.

That doesn't actually make a difference to whether or not the plugin works, as there's no difference in formatting between ordinary kindle ebooks and Kindle Unlimited ones.

If you're complaining about possible piracy, then if someone is reading a book on Kindle Unlimited then there's no reason they shouldn't be allowed to read it on a different format if they want. There's nothing to indicate any untoward behaviour here.

If you don't actually have anything constructive to add, I'm not sure why you'd bother answering issue posts in the first place. As it is, I'm only sorry for OP that I can't be of any actual help to them.

This plugin does actually check if a KFX format book is licensed as KU. And removing DRM from Kindle Unlimited books prevents the author from getting paid. Amazon only pays them based on how much of the book is read. They can only tell that if you read them in a Kindle app or device with DRM intact.

[Baswouelle]

I want to convert it to be able to read it on my kobo. I don't like to read on my computer. Is that possible ?

This plugin does actually check if a KFX format book is licensed as KU.

Even if it does check, then it doesn't have any impact on the end result. I've always been able to successfully convert kindle unlimited ebooks myself without any issues - hell, I just did so a few minutes ago. I have genuinely no clue where you're getting the idea that DeDRM Tools don't work for Kindle Unlimited books. It's complete and utter nonsense.

And removing DRM from Kindle Unlimited books prevents the author from getting paid. Amazon only pays them based on how much of the book is read. They can only tell that if you read them in a Kindle app or device with DRM intact.

There are still plenty of valid reasons to want to remove the DRM from a Kindle Unlimited book, for instance so that you can read it on another, non-Amazon device. Regardless, it doesn't change the fact that your moralising is utterly irrelevant to someone asking for technical advice.

I want to convert it to be able to read it on my kobo. I don't like to read on my computer. Is that possible ?

Yes, there's no reason why you shouldn't be able to convert a Kindle Unlimited book so that you can read it on your Kobo - I've done it myself for that exact reason before. Unfortunately, I'm not familiar with using Calibre and DeDRM on Mac, so I can't give any specific advice in that regards.

Edit: If you could add which exact steps you followed, it would be easier for someone experienced with the Mac version to tell where a problem occurred, and if it's on your end or not.

[al-iskandar-github]

Again, this plugin is intended to work with purchased books.

Again, this plugin works completely fine with Kindle Unlimited books. Also, if you have nothing useful to add, and if you're only going to repeat blatantly incorrect information, then just don't say anything. You're being actively unhelpful at this point.

[ElleKayEm]

If you think that anything I've said here isn't true, then you're not paying close enough attention to what I actually wrote.

The plugin (at least this version) does not work with KindleUnlimited books. There's an explicit check. That would lead to a different error message, though, the one in this log probably means you didn't enter the Kindle serial number into the settings.

[Baswouelle]

the one in this log probably means you didn't enter the Kindle serial number into the settings.

It's a Mac app, I don't own a kindle device, so there is no serial number to enter

just did it , thanks
