\cf0 DeDRM is an application that packs all of the python dm-removal software into one easy to use program that remembers preferences and settings.\
It works without manual configuration with Kindle for Mac ebooks and Adobe Adept ePub and PDF ebooks.\
\
To remove the DRM of Kindle ebooks from eInk Kindles, eReader pdb ebooks, Barnes&Noble ePubs, or Mobipocket ebooks, you must first run DeDRM application (by double-clicking it) and set some additional Preferences including:\
\
eInk Kindle (not Kindle Fire): 16 digit Serial Number\
Kindle for iOS: 40 digit UDID, but this probably won't work anymore\
Barnes & Noble ePub:  Name and CC number or key file  (bnepubkey.b64)\
eReader Social DRM: Name and last 8 digits of CC number\
Mobipocket: 10 digit PID\
\
A final preference is the destination folder for the DRM-free copies of your ebooks that the application produces. This can be either the same folder as the original ebook, or a folder of your choice.\
\
Once these preferences have been set, you can drag and drop ebooks (or folders of ebooks) onto the DeDRM droplet to remove the DRM.\
\
This program requires Mac OS X 10.4 or above. It will not work on Mac OS X 10.3 or earlier.\
