However, he didn’t disclose many technical details to me, so I am still confused about how it works. When talking with the developer, he said, in fact, this software is copying iBooks, not crack the DRM protection like Requiem did.As far as I know, this is the only solution to make iBooks DRM-free at the moment.Which means we can read it on any app/device supports EPUB, and we can convert the format as we want. They are just normal DRM-free EPUB books. It turns out I can load them into Calibre and read them. Now let’s check if these books are DRM-free. Step 5. At last, click on any book which is already converted, and click the magnifying glass icon, the output folder will be opened. Step 4. Click “Convert” button in the right bottom corner, then you can see the progress of each book. You can choose multiple books at the same time. Step 3. Click “Add Files”, then choose the books you want to decrypt. It will open iBooks automatically and then minimize it to the dock. Download and install iBooks Copy for Mac, launch it. Make sure you’ve downloaded your purchased iBooks to computer and you can read them with iBooks desktop app. Because iBooks desktop reading app is only available for Mac, and the DRM removing program needs you launch the iBooks desktop app before stripping DRM. You need a Mac computer, or at least you can run Mac OS in virtue machine on PC.

To my surprise, the answer is positive, it indeed works! It removes DRM from all my purchased iBook, converted them to DRM-free EPUB books, I can convert them to Mobi with Calibre!īelow is the detailed process and using guide. However, my friend told me it really works, so I decided to give it a try. (In fact, there are software doing this kind of job.) Maybe it takes screenshots of every page of an iBook and combines them into a book, to be honest, that’s really stupid.

So when another iBooks DRM removing software putting on my desk, I thought it’s just bragging. But it didn’t last long, Apple immediately enhanced their encryption method, and Requiem project came to the end later. That was as least 3 years ago, an open-source tool called Requiem announced it supported iBooks DRM removing. I never thought I can remove Apple iBooks Fairplay DRM again after Requiem stopped updating. IBooks DRM Removal – How to Remove iBooks DRM in 2017 (not Requiem)
