If it worked, you'll see the same line you had before: ~ % You will be prompted to enter your Mac password (the one for unlocking your machine, not your AppleID)
Sudo chmod -x /Applications/Kindle.app/Contents/MacOS/renderer-test You should see a prompt which looks like: ~ %Ĭopy and paste the following command after the %: Open your Terminal app - the easiest way to do this is by clicking the search icon in the top right of your screen or by pressing Cmd+Space to bring up Spotlight and typing 'Terminal' to launch it Step 3: Prevent Kindle for Mac from downloading KFX or KCR files Install it into /Applications via the DMG, but don't open it yet The Mac App Store version and Kindle for Mac 1.32 and higher will not work at all Once both app and plug-in are uninstalled, you need to install a version of Kindle for Mac which is between 1.25 and 1.31 Uninstall any version of NoDRM or DeDRM from Calibre and restart Calibre to complete the uninstall process You can use a free tool like AppCleaner or similar to do this for you - just select all the files it suggests you should remove Remove the app/program completely, including any previously downloaded books and any any files hanging around in Application Support or other system folders If you have any version of Kindle for Mac installed, deauthorise it first via Kindle for Mac > Preferences > General > Deregister Only do this if you've already tried to remove DRM from a book and failed.
If you are on an older version of macOS (anything up to macOS 10.14 Mojave), the easiest way to get the DeDRM plug-ins working with Kindle for Mac is to download Kindle for Mac version 1.24 or lower and go to Preferences > Updates and turn off auto-updates.įrom Catalina (macOS 10.15) onwards, you cannot install K4M 32 bit, so you will have to follow steps 1-5. you only have the apps for iOS/Android and Mac), the steps for removing Kindle DRM on Mac are less obvious and involve several workarounds. If you do not own a physical Kindle (i.e. If that's you, you can skip straight to Step 5 and ignore everything else. The NoDRM tools for Calibre should be quite straightforward on Mac if you own a physical e-ink Kindle. Retested and updated in May 2022 to reflect change to using NoDRM rather than the older DeDRM plug-ins. Tested with an 2021 M1 Mac mini and a 2014 Intel MacBookAir. Steps as correct as I can make them as at October 2021. And this is a very long post, so apologies in advance. The NoDRM plug-ins do not strip DRM from non-purchased books by design, so this won’t work with KindleUnlimited or PrimeReading books. This post will only work with purchased content. The steps in this post are informed by two excellent posts at MobileRead: Basic Instructions Mac specific instructions and a lot of trial and error.
