You don't need a kindle, a kindle app is fine as I have tested it out before. thought I did use different programs but they were basically convert the book to epub.
One clarification, and a tip. Firstly, some books can come from Amazon without DRM. TOR, for example, doesn’t put DRM on their books. As for making quicker/simpler, Calibre has some automation features. Somewhere in the setting you can specify a folder that it will auto import books from. Set that up and then if calibre is running and you put books files into that folder they will automatically be imported. There is also a setting in preferences to automatically convert books when importing With that automation in place the process of importing and converting becomes pretty painless, but you’ll still have to download the books individually
Thanks for the very useful video. A hint from my side: As long as you connect your Kobo to your computer, a button "Send to device" appears on calibre. After importing the Kindle ebook into calibre and converting it to a drm-free version, you can just click on the "Send to device" button and the ebook will be automatically uploaded to your Kobo. No need to drag-n-drop it.
Thank you so much.. That's something I wanted to know. I prefer to use the option Calibre gives me instead of copy and paste or drag the file to Kobo's folder. Thanks!
Thanks for making this easy! I don't have a kobo yet but the sheer thought of having to do this for 400+ books kept me from really looking into them despite wanting to make the switch. I think I'll start converting some of my library a little at a time so that when I do switch I won't have as much work to do
That's what I'm doing...a little at a time. I have way too many ebooks and not enough time or patience to convert and send them all to my kobo one by one!
I've been trying to do this very thing for maybe 10 years. I'd give it a try about once a year, and it never worked. Your bit with a couple of steps around uploading the serial number was the secret sauce that made it work for the first time. Thank you.
Dylan, genius. Since yesterday I've watched more tutorials than I can remember, from 2024, and yours was the one who solved my problem. It works. Thank you from Argentina.
YEEES OMG really thank you for this video! From Spain i've been 2h trying to understand how to pass the books from my mom's kindle to her new kobo's ebook I gifted her and thanks to you I could My mom said that she loves you for this🤣🤣 Xxx!
Thank you Dylan for such an easy step-by-step video on how to do this! I just bought a brand new 11th gen Paperwhite back in February. Just recently had the "tree screen of death" happen on mine and have had ZERO luck from Amazon to get this resolved. Buying my wife and I our own Kobo Libra Colors and moving all of our books over to that. Cheers!
Thank you so much for this video! I've been thinking of getting a color Kobo, but I was hesitant to take the plunge since all of my ebooks are from Amazon.
Very helpful! I don’t know how I missed this when it posted. I see a lot of folks are ditching Kindle and moving to Kobo to retain ownership if Amazon gets squirrelly with removing books we’ve paid for. I’m about to jump on that bandwagon.
Dylan, THANK YOU. After a couple of hours of Reddit research and trial and error, I tried RUclips. This video got me set up perfectly with my new Kobo. I also spied your Scripture widget on your computer and the 'The Name of the Wind' file on your Kobo. Very nice, brother.
I so appreciate this step-by-step video. There’s a couple more things I need to learn about calibre but this particular task was on my to do list for today. And now, thanks to you, I’m one step closer to kicking kindle to the curb!
Amazing video! Very easy to follow and worked perfectly! I do have to say you can bulk upload to your kobo, at least on Windows. I just selected all of my books and clicked "Send To Device" up the top. Everything worked perfectly, thank you very much for making this vid! I picked up my Kobo Libra Color today and was a bit sad to not have all my books on one device, problem solved 🤩
This is fantastic!! I recently re-discovered my first ever Kindle (a 2nd Gen from 2009) and while it still works - yay! The battery is abysmal and there's obviously no updates that will work with it. I just got my first Kobo (Clara BW) and I'm so happy to be able to move my 500+ kindle books. Thanks so much!
This is perfect and a very timely video tutorial cause I just finished preordering the Kobo color Libra and was wondering how was I going to read my Kindle books in the Kobo. You’ve just solved my problem. I have the items and software already so I’ll be ready to follow your instructions once I receive my Kobo. Many thanks!
You saved my day! 🎉🎉🎉 I've just received the Kobo Libra Colour and I have so many kindle books .. to have all my books on one EReader. Perfect! Thank you sooo much!! 😊
Thank you very much for this video! I just got my Kobo and there is absolutely no way I would have figured this out. Day one, and my Kindle library is on my Kobo! Thank you, Thank you!
This was so helpful, Dylan! Thank you. I pre-ordered the Kobo Libra Colour and was sad I would have to start all over regarding buying books I wanted to annotate with the stylus. Reddit always talks about Calibre and it just didnt compute with me. This helped me so much.
Ive had a heck of a time finding the right Calibre version and the right DRM tools version the last few years. I’m going to download your video and go thru it step by step and try again with your links. Wish me luck and thank you!!
This is excellent. I’ve used calibre and Apprentice Alf’s plugin since 2018 but I didn’t know about linking to a kindle device. I’ve just downloaded a kindle book on computer (using an old version of the kindle app because my plugin can’t remove drm from newer books or books downloaded on new app), then dragged and dropped those books into calibre. I’ll get things set up the way you’ve done it to see if it’ll remove the drm on the new books. I’ll be sure to get the same drm plugin you used. That’s a nice recliner, btwv
Thank you for showing how to get the DeDRM plugin to work. Everywhere I have looked on how to install it, never mentioned entering the serial number of the Kindle. Now that I have that missing piece, it works.
Finally got this set up and holy cow it works! Previously, I couldn't remove DRM from newer books, but I just did it your way and it actually worked on the newer books!
oh-oh. I just tried loading a third book and it says I don't have a compatible device registered for this content. My Kindle is an old one with the keyboard so I'll probably need a newer Kindle. Strange though. It didn't have any trouble with 2 books published in March but did with a book from February.
Thank you so much!!! This was so helpful and honestly took the headache out of moving from kindle to kobo. I was so worried about losing hundreds of books but so far everything has worked great 😁
Yes - me too. I was instantly regretting buying Kobo - there seemed to be fewer books, and generally more expensive, and that really nasty trick of forcing you to preauthorise payment methods for future purchases. But now I can see that I can still buy books on Amazon and just transfer them. It's a shame that Kobo does that preauthorisation forcing move as I shan't be buying many books from them. Thanks for these tips. My 4 Kindles are long since in the graveyard, but my Amazon account still recognises them.
OMG THank you sooo much. If only I'd found your video 12 hours ago! Thank you for mking the process so simple and easy to understand. You sir, are a legend.
😃Thank you for posting this. I followed your instructions and transferred all my kindle books to my new Kobo Libra (which I am delighted with). I have a Windows machine but your instruction translated perfectly.
If you're having issues with Calibre crashing, it's likely you need a newer version of the deDRM plug it. The current version may be found here: github.com/noDRM/DeDRM_tools/releases/tag/v10.0.3 (you can also find this new link in the description)
Next on my tech list is a Kobo. I just watched your video pausing step by step and got it done. I will slowly patiently collect my books for when I own that bad boy soon. I just happened upon all this info last week and said....no way!!! So thank you it was easy to follow your way since I also have a mac and another video on windows had me all confused.
Thank you for this! I've been holding off on the Kobo because I have so many kindle books! This was super easy to follow and now I can keep reading on a new e-reader :)
Thank you for this! I've really been wanting to switch from kindle to kobo and this made it easier--I was already dreading this part but its not hard at all!
Great presentation of this, followed along and got my first book transferred over with no issues. Mind, I am already a Calibre user, and am computer savvy.
Thank you so much! Unfortunately it is a headache to get started, but once you have everything up and running the process is pretty easy. I wish there was an easier way!
Thank so much for this video, I get a Kobo and was looking how transfert all my books (a lot of books 😅😅) and your video will save my life. It’s really well explained. THANK YOU !!
Is there a way to do this if you have the Kindle App on iPad and not an actual Kindle? I'm not in a position to find a serial number for my Kindle because I don't have one. I'm trying to get Kindle iPad app workbooks over to Apple Books so I can make handwritten annotations.
This was a really useful video! Thank you very much. You pushed me over the edge from my Kindle (I've been reading on a Kindle for 15 years or more) and into a new color Kobo reader. I'm assuming that with the DRM removed that you can highlight and take notes on books? I'm also assuming the Kobo has a dictionary function similar to my Kindle?? Again, thank you for the great video.
@@dylancanread The video was helpful. I did have a question though. When you transfer a book from your kindle to your kobo will that book still have all your notes and highlights you've made?
Thank you for this! I had some trial and error (all user issues 😅) but couldn’t have done it without your easy to follow tutorial. Now to get to work on transferring all those books….
Interesting find yesterday; I tried to deliver a new book (published in 2024) to my kindle for pc and I got an error message saying book could not be delivered until kindle for pc app was updated. I then had no choice but to deliver it to my kindle fire (which for whatever reason, the serial number input into Calibre won't work). I do keep my downloaded files on an SD card on the kindle rather than built in storage so once downloaded, I removed the SD and used a card reader to load and explore the file structure on the pc. I was able to find the book file and imported that into Calibre, converted it, then sent it to my new Kobo. It worked! Tedious but the only work around I could think of....
Thank you! I’ve been trying to find the title for Only You for years I saw it once on tv when I was a kid and never got the name I’m going to watch it right now!
a bit of an easier way to load the books all at once is to plug your kindle into your computer and add them straight to calibre from the downloads folder.
Grazieeeee!!! Super Many Thanks my dear!! You made my day!! Super duper step by step video tutorial that i will highly recommend to anybody I know of that want to switch to the fantastic world of Kobo
Hey there! It may be that you need to update Calibre! There should be an option to do this from within the application (I had a little button at the bottom right of the screen) but if not, you should be able to find the newest version via a google search.
Make sure you download the 10.0.9 version of the plug in. With the old versions there was a big causing issues with mac. I specifically searched for the 10. Version of the plug in and it fixed the issue.
Thanks for the video! In this video you download Dedrm v7.2.1, but when you go to install it, you install v.10. Where do we get version 10? After i installed v.7.2.1, Calibre kept quitting when I went to update the DeDRM preferences
Hi. Thanks for the video!. Did you tried to remove the DRM from kobo books too? so you can read your books bought on kobo store on your kindles? My sole objective is to have all my legally purchased e-books free to read them on any device.. thanks again!
Thank you so much for this video. I was kind of stressing about getting my purchases on my Kobo Libra Colour from Amazon. My other question was with you converting the book to epub then are you able to use all the features on the kobo like increase/decrease font, change font, annotating etc??
This definitely works for getting them on my Kobo Libra, but I do have an issue I'm running into. To start, I don't actually have a kindle so I can't add a serial number to the plug in, yet seemingly it still gets transferred. The issue I have is when actually trying to read the files on my Kobo. Aside from the cover/first page, everything is zoomed in to only show the top left each page, with no option to zoom out, which makes reading manga, or pretty much anything impossible. Would having a kindle serial number fix that, or am I doing something else wrong?
Hi, so i also just use the kindle app and i want to convert my books to my kobo. You say it worked for you but i can't seem to make it work. How did you do it?
Thank you - very helpful for new Kobo converts. Especially configuration of the plugin. In the last step you can upload the epub version to Google Drive or Dropbox on your Kobo.
Also remember you can bulk download from a range of folders and bulk change to epub in the convert menu. This will help if you have loads of books on your Kindle.
Is there any way to do this without having a kindle? I have a kobo (that I love) but some books aren't available on the kobo store unfortunately that I'd like to read. I've never had a kindle though

You should use the plug in to convert the file to a Kepub file :)
great walk through. Minor criticism of having to figure it out on Windows, but for me that wasn't an issue. Well done!

To start, I don't actually have a kindle so I can't add a serial number to the plug in, yet seemingly it still gets transferred. The issue I have is when actually trying to read the files on my Kobo. Aside from the cover/first page, everything is zoomed in to only show the top left each page, with no option to zoom out, which makes reading manga, or pretty much anything impossible. Would having a kindle serial number fix that, or am I doing something else wrong?
Hi, so i also just use the kindle app and i want to convert my books to my kobo. You say it worked for you but i can't seem to make it work. How did you do it?
Thank you - very helpful for new Kobo converts. Especially configuration of the plugin. In the last step you can upload the epub version to Google Drive or Dropbox on your Kobo.
this was SO easy and useful!! THANK YOU!
This was excellent and very helpful, many thanks/subscribed!
How did I never figure this out before. Since I uses Boox I did not need to convert the files only add to calibre and boox drop.
Sorry am new to this. If I don't have a Kindle can I still buy Kindle books and do this. I won't have a serial number to log in Amazon.
So helpful! I don't have a Kobo but this worked for my BOOX Palma!
Also remember you can bulk download from a range of folders and bulk change to epub in the convert menu. This will help if you have loads of books on your Kindle.
Is there any way to do this without having a kindle? I have a kobo (that I love) but some books aren't available on the kobo store unfortunately that I'd like to read. I've never had a kindle though
THANK YOU!!! I again have access to my KOBO books. What about BN can I do the same with their books?
Super helpful. Thank you.
