While there are many sites that redistribute these tools, the most up-to-date versions of the tools are currently released here.

They have since been improved by many people, but mostly some_updates, DiapDealer, Apprentice Alf, and Apprentice Harper. The tools for Kindle/Mobipocket were originally posted at The Dark Reverser’s blog. The tools for removing DRM from ePubs were originally posted at i♥cabbages’ blog. Authors, retailers and publishers all need to make a living, so that they can continue to produce books for us to read. No help will be given to people doing such things. De-drmed ebooks should not be uploaded to open servers, torrents, or other methods of mass distribution. Please only use these tools for gaining full access to your own ebooks for archiving/conversion/convenience.
