Want more DRM-free ebooks to add to your Kindle? Here are the best places to find them, including Open Library. Yes, the fact is the Calibre DRM Removal DeDRM plugin doesn’t support iBook. Calibre DRM Removal plugin cannot remove DRM from iBooks. So, the current solution is to downgrade your Kindle for PC/Mac to an older version. You can also change the covers of ebooks on old Kindles using this guide, so you can turn these old devices into picture frames. Calibre DeDRM removal plugin does not work for Kindle books downloaded via Kindle for Mac/PC higher than version 1.25. If you encounter this glitch, it’s now easy to fix blank or missing sideloaded ebook covers on your Kindle. Currently I have the calibre for PC loaded on my computer with all my books on there (around 50 or so, not unmanageable). With the how-to guide above, you can also put any cover file of your choice.
