The highly recommended tool is Ultimate eBook Converter–Epubor Ultimate . It is a good adobe drm removal, and also helps us convert books from epub to kindle format.

Then let’s check again that your epub books could be opened with ADE on your computer. Note that in common cases most of adobe drm epub books are with .acsm, not .epub, especially those purchased google, kobo or nook books. So at this time you’d better convert acsm to epub . Books opened in ADE are saved at “My Digital Edition” folder.

Step 1: Run the tool

As the image shows, after you run this tool, from the left side you will see several icons among which contain the “ADE”. Below this tab you will see all your books that have been opened with ADE. If not, drag them from “My Digital Edition” folder to the tool.

Step 2: Select books to remove adobe drm from epub

Choose those epub books you want to read on kindle. Then drag them to the left erea. As soon as you added the books, the drm removing starts and later you will see “decrypted”. Don’t worry it only removes the drm, no lose to the original content to your epub books. And even though your epub have no drm, this tool will list them intactly and you can continue to convert them to kindle format.

What’s adobe drm epub?

Now you have got what you wanted, but maybe some friends are still confused about what the adobe drm is.

What is adobe drm epub? In simple terms, they are epub files that are protected with adobe adept drm.

What’s adobe adept drm? This is a digital rights protection technology made by Adobe company. On one hand, DRM can protect copyright. But on the other hand, it also prevents you from copying and sharing, reading an ebook from another device.

How to check whether my epub has adobe drm or not? We know that ADE could open both drmed and non-drm file, but it couldn’t help to check. Easy, this tool I recommended above also has the function. After your books added to ADE, then run this tool, drag your epub files to the right main interface. If you see the “decrypted”, it has the drm; If you see nothing under the small “edit” and “del” button, it doesn’t have drm.

Compatible eReader devices and apps for adobe drm epub

Whose epub books are with Adobe drm? In common, google, rakuten kobo, Sony, B&N, and some online ebook sellers adopt the Adobe drm to their eBooks. This means that if your books are purchased from those sellers, it is likely that they are with adobe drm.

How can I read adobe drm epub? Adobe drm epub files (purchased from those sellers I listed above) can only be opened with devices and apps that support Adobe ACS. You can find a full list from Adobe’s website .

--PC/Mac computers with Adobe Digital Editions (the best adobe drm epub reader)

--Kobo eReader

--Barnes and Noble NOOK

--Android Devices with android ereader apps .

--Sony Reader

--Kindle Fire with Aldiko .

--Apple IOS devices with ADE alternatives

From this list you know that Adobe drm epub is not compatible on Kindle. So if we want to read adobe drm epub on kindle, we must remove adobe drm and convert epub to Kindle supported formats.

Note: Kindle fire, as a special android tablet, you can also read adobe drm epub if we use the suggested app with “setting” the “Allow Installation of Applications from Unknown Sources” to ON.

Why Kindle doesn’t support Adobe DRM EPUB

To this part you may think that the adobe drm problem is the only reason that prevents us reading epub on kindle. But in fact there is another reason that we can’t ignore. This is the formats defferentce. At the first part (how to) I have explained a little about this.

You can have a try. After drm removed, copy those non-drm epub to your kindle paperwhite. See? They still don’t appear on your device. This is because of the format limitation. Most sellers’ devices accept common epub and pdf, but kindle doesn’t. Kindle adopt their own ebook formats with azw3, azw4, mobi, prc, tpz, topaz, azw. In other words, if your books are not with those extensions, you are not able to read them even though there have been non drm protections.

So I recommend you the Ultimate Converter–Epubor Ultimate, as it is an ultimate eBook DRM converter, helping you remove adobe drm from epub and convert epub to kindle supported formats with high quality.
