You will see it has your key already in the top space. At this point the book is infested with DRM and cannot be opened in anything but ADE. If you go to my documents, find the folder “my digital editions” and your book will be in that folder as an ePub. When you click to download the book you bought, ADE will take over and download the book. You do this part when you buy a book from Kobo, The Sony Store, Borders or any store that uses ADE DRM. You only run this script this one time, then forget about it. Don’t worry, if ADE is installed and authorized it will find it on your computer automatically. This will create the “key” from your authorized ADE account…. After your computer is “authorized” run the ineptkey_v4.3 script. The version changes often, and putting links up is only good for a month or two. If the script links above do not work, you will have to do a search on the internet for the scripts. Put the folder with the Python scripts ineptepub and the ineptkey script somewhere you can get to. You do all this one time, so grin and bear it….ĭownload and install Python and pycrypto.ĭownload and install Adobe Digital Editions (you will also need an account so you can “authorize” your computer) Adobe - Digital Editionsīe sure to “authorize” your computer after installing.

#Open kobo books in ibooks how to#
I thought I would go ahead and post how to do all this.
If you have Python and such installed (since you strip DRM from Kindle books, I assume you do) it is pretty easy to find the scripts to liberate Adobe Digital Editions DRM, which is what Kobo uses. but as it stands now, for me Kobo works the best.
#Open kobo books in ibooks cracked#
If Apple DRM were easy to strip (my understanding is at this point no one has cracked it yet) and their prices right I would buy from them simply for convenience sake. The main reason I buy from Kobo more than the others is their DRM is very easy to strip, they are already in ePub so no conversion needed, and their cost is usually lower than IBooks and equal to Kindle.Īlso Kobo has a reader, but it is the buggiest app on the iPad I have ever seen. that will give you a good idea of how well they will work. The easy thing to do is get one of the free Kobo books and check it out.
In the Kobo books that I have read in iBooks, the formatting was fine.
