Latest news about DRM removal software for ebooks


26.09.25. Amazon closed Kindle's loophole that allowed to remove DRM



Amazon has released a firmware update for Kindle 11th and 12th generation e-readers. The company has removed one of the last remaining methods for backing up Kindle books and removing DRM. Users are left with the option of using complex jailbreaking methods, which typically stop working after a new software update. The new DRM applies to all newly downloaded books, regardless of purchase or publication date, but does not apply to books for which the publisher has disabled DRM. Amazon is implementing these new protections to prevent users from downloading Kindle books locally, then using various methods to remove encryption and share the book with others. Earlier this year, the company removed the ability to download and transfer books via USB—one of the last remaining ways to download a book to your computer. Kindle for PC has been updated to prevent users of older versions of the app from downloading Kindle books. Even to read purchased books, the app requires an update and they can no longer be downloaded.


2025. BookFab Kindle Converter allows to remove DRM from Kindle books



DVDFab, the company that develops DVD backup, conversion and authoring solutions, has released a new program - BookFab, that can remove the DRM protection from paid Kindle ebooks and convert them to EPUB format for compatibility with ereaders and reading apps outside of Amazon’s control. The software is not free - the 1-month license costs $39.99, a 1-year license costs $59.99 and a lifetime license costs $67.49, rendering the 1-year option all but pointless. BookFab is using a different method to obtain ebooks from Amazon than other DRM-removal options. It uses built-in browser to log in to your Kindle personal account to access your library. Then you open Kindle eBook you wish to convert online and click the download button. BookFab parses the eBook, displaying key details such as title and cover.
