Part 2: Free trial & Register & Update & Renew
1. Free Trial
The first time you start the program you will be pop up a window which lets you register or purchase the software. But you can just close the window and start your free trial.
What's the difference between free trial version and paid version? The free trial only converts a portion(20%) of a book to txt, but it clearly works.
Q: What are the terms of the trial version of Epubor Ultimate? What is the difference beween the trial version and paid version?
Epubor Ultimate free trial limitation is that, it will only help decrypt 20% content of each book, and the decrypted book will be saved as txt format. It means you will only get text contents, images will lose. But if you purchase a full license, you will get one full book with the original quality. And don't worry the full license starts the conversion from scratch, it won't proceed from where the 20% converted file left off.

The Latest Solution to Remove Nook DRM in 2023
Note that the Epubor Ultimate works for dedrm Nook books via Nook Windows app, however, the nook win app was discontinued since November 2023, which makes it nearly impossible to remove drm with Epubor Ultimate. To get this issue resolved, epubor team released a new tool named Epubor Nook Converter to convert both nook ebooks and nook audiobooks. If you wish to back up nook files but you're not able to download nook files via nook windows app, don't miss out this tool.
What are differences between Epubor Ultimate and Epubor Nook Converter? Epubor Ultimate only works for nook books downloaded via Nook windows app though the app was paused for a long time. But Epubor Nook Converter works for nook ebooks and audiobooks and it works on Nook android app installed on anandroid emulator.
Part 5: Using Epubor Ultimate experience
As someone who loves to read, I’ve always been on the lookout for ways to make my reading experience better. That’s when I stumbled upon Epubor Ultimate, and honestly, it’s been a lifesaver.
Before Epubor Ultimate, my digital bookshelf was a mess. I had ebooks in all sorts of formats, and it was a headache trying to figure out which ones would work on my different devices. It felt like I was spending more time troubleshooting than actually reading.
But with Epubor Ultimate, all that changed. This nifty program is incredibly user-friendly, and it works like a charm. It converts my ebooks to the formats I need without any fuss. And the best part? It removes DRM restrictions, so I’m no longer tied down to specific apps or devices.
Now, my ebooks are organized and accessible on any device I choose. Whether I’m on my phone during my commute, on my tablet in bed, or on my e-reader at the park, my entire library is at my fingertips. It’s given me the freedom to enjoy my books whenever and wherever I want.
What’s more, Epubor Ultimate has been a huge help with my own writing. As an aspiring author, I’ve been able to share my work with friends and family across different platforms, thanks to the program’s conversion capabilities. It’s opened up new possibilities for feedback and collaboration, which has been invaluable.

Hello!
You wrote "if you really wish to get a whole book before purchasing this software, please send us the book (one book only) and the folder .Epubor_Keys under user name"
Where do I need to send the book?
where can I find the folder .Epubor_Keys under user name?
Many thanks,
Alex
At the time it worked but today failed to remove DRM and convert.I got an error message concerning Kindle files and PDF.
Is my program no more valid?
Yeah,..
MANY THANKS ABOUT THE GOTD/GIVEAWAYOFTHEDAY! :)
I am using an iMac running 10.14.6 (Mojave)
No matter what I try I cannot edit metadata, it is ALWAYS greyed out. The choices given as soon as I drag a kindle file to the right side (where it WILL properly convert to ePub) it will let me click on the "stylus" but not actually edit anything at all.
The REPLACED button under the book cover is grayed out, indicating that function is unavailable.
All the metadata fields are non-writeable - when I put the cursor there and press a key the computer sounds a "thunk" for an unacceptable operation.
The button under INTRODUCTION says FINISHED and is grayed out. The text box for typing descriptive metadata into is grayed out and useless.
Can you please tell or show me how to do this correctly?
Thank you for leaving the comments. The trial version will decrypt 20% content of each books and the decrypted content will be in text format. That's why there is no photo in your converted book.
For the temporary key, you can get the license by different ways: https://www.epubor.com/get-free-license.html
For the files in Epubor software are just the downloaded original kindle books, you can delete them or not according to your own requirements.
I purchased a Lifetime subscription for EpubUltimate so I could remove the DRM from my Kindle purchases and manage them along with all my other books in Calibre. When I run EpubUltimate and then open the Decrypted book in the output file, it opens with my Kindle for PC app and everything is fine.
But when I add the book to Calibre, it is not recognized. I can't edit the metadata or view it in Calibre. It actually looks as if it is there. Calibre even permits me to transfer it to my Kindle reader and shows that it is there. But when I eject the device from Calibre, the book really is not on the device.
I know Kindle is a pain. But I've used other Epub products in the past (KCR for example) that removed the DRM and then could be managed in Kindle. As it is now, EpubUltimate is not doing what I expect from it. Because I can't manage the book in Calibre, I don't even think the DRM has been removed, despite EpubUltimate showing it as decrpyted.
Help, please.
1. Calibre cannot handle kfx books directly. So even after the kindle drm has been removed, the kindle books are still in kfx format.
2. To fix this issue, after the kindle drm has been removed, please also convert the kindle books to epub and then transfer the converted epub books to calibre. This time the calibre can read this book.
Thank you for asking. The books at the left column is the same as the books you downloaded via your kindle for pc/mac. To clear the que, you just need to remove these books from your computer.
Here is also another solution:
Right click any book in the left column and then sort the books by data. Then you will find your latest downloaded ebook on the top.
Any more problem, please feel free to contact us via epubor.iris@gmail.com
Have you ever sent your nook account information to us? If not, then you cannot remove nook drm.

I love this "Ultimate" program. I highly recommend it to anyone who collects ebooks.
Since shifting to Kindle Reader v 1.12 everything is simple and effective.
I love reading and while I appreciate amazon for the great supply I am glad to be able to store and use the books I get there in a more unrestricted way.
Just got the trial version for Mac but cannot add any Epub to test a conversion to PDF.
Even after selecting the Epub it does not show up on the software.
Are your epub books drm-protected or not? If yes, please remove drm and then convert them to pdf.
Hi,
is it possible to define the fornt and font size to which epubor will convert the files. I would like to increase the font when converting from epub to pdf.
Thanks
This is basically a copy of the post I made on the How-to-Remove-Nook_DRM forum (as a "reply" to an earlier post of mine.
I got no answer, so I do hope it's better seen here!
Old Nook books still get DRM removed by Epubor Ultimate, but suddenly my two latest purchased Nook books couldn't get their DRM removed with Epubor Ultimate.
(And the previous Nook books still get it done. I have the newest update and my Epubor-keys are in place.)
These were the first books I bought with my Windows PC version while having been updated to Windows 11.
I did the following:
- e-mailed epubor.alice@gmail.com
- opened a ticket
- tried to login to my account
- had a chat (which ended in a promise I would get an e-mail response).
But I got no reply whatsoever. As a result I even don't know the number of my ticket.
Please, please, help!

Thanks.
Got the message, sent you the requested data.

Thanks for the new key.
It worked flawlessly!
In fact: thanks a lot!!

I have used Calibre successfully for many years. However, for ease of use, recently I decided to get Eupubor Ultimate Lifetime for PC. It works very well and also seems much faster than Calibre.
There's only one thing that has me frustrated. It's very simple and I'm probably just not working in the right place in the app or finding it in any of the guides or resources.
As part of the DRM removal and conversion process, I would like to be able to choose how the finished file is named. All I really need is "author - title.extension". However, I can only get it to name the finished file after the title without the author.
I'm basically lost trying to find books I want to read because I need to look them up by author and not just by the title.
Certainly Eupubor Ultimate can do this, right? Please let me know where I have missed.
I appreciate it any help you can provide on this. Thank you.
(Epubot just helped me tremendously today, so I gladly add my 5cts.)
Generally I rename the output file almost immediately after it is generated, if I want to.
After DRM removal, in Epubor click on the little-man-icon upper right.
You get the "output=-path". Click on that one.
Now the file is shown (if you have many books, you may need to sort on "Date" to see it more readily).
You can very simply change the name of the epub-file (usually named something like "title"_nodrm.epub) there.
Adding the name of the author is easy (but of course you need to know that one :-) ).
Hope this helps,
CL
Epubor Ultimate should be able to get "author - title.extension" format shouldn't it?
Thank you to let us know when this happens.
Bonjour,
J'aimerai tester Epubor Ultimate avant de l'acheter mais je n'arrive pas à convertir le livre que je désire qui est dans Kindle et que je veux mettre sur ma liseuse Kobo. Pourriez-vous m'aider? J'ai installé le logiciel mais il ne trouve pas le livre sur mon ordi, il est pourtant bien dans Kindle...
Merci à vous,
Anne-Sophie Ott
I have removed the DRM from several hundred books so far by using the "Add" method rather than the Kindle for PC method. Kindle for PC has very few books downloaded and it is too high a level. I have one book that refuses to De-DRM even though I KNOW it was downloaded (transfer via USB) using a known device's serial number.
How do I get it to work? The book is fine, I just can't remove the DRM. How do I use the .k4i file?
It opens fine with Calibre!
I have several ebooks without DRM, which I just want to convert to a different format. Their file names are in the format: authorname - filename.oldext However, after conversion, the following two files appear in the "ultimate" folder - filename.oldext and filename.newext. ie authorname is missing.
I have the original file, viz authorname - filename.oldext in the source folder, so I do not need (want ) it duplicated. I want the converted file to be authorname - filename.newext,
How do I achieve this please?
I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong. I can see the Kobo on Explorer and see the book files there, so the connection is there to the laptop.
Hi, I've used Epubor Ultimate successfully for a long time. Sometimes I will replace the book cover.
The other day I tried to replace the cover and it basically destroyed the book. Looking at it with
FBreader on windows 10 the index was gone. So I decided to re-download the book. However.
Epubor somehow got stuck and keep on accessing the destroyed book rather than the new copy.
I know that Epubor keeps the books somewhere, I just can't find out where. Some time ago I did
find a directory and where it keeps the books and was able to delete the books and go on. However, now
I can't find that directory. Where is that directory? Epubor shows a bunch of books on the screen
with the heading of "Output" to the right of the Adobe heading but it is not my output directory.
Is this the directory I am looking for and where is it and how do I delete the books in that list?

This is all new to me. I am trying to get my nook books transferred to PocketBook cloud. I have used Epubor and changed them to EPUB. Not sure of the next steps. I have read through all the help articles but still lost.
Thank-You
Hello,
You could upload the EPUB file to the PocketBook cloud, open the website cloud.pocketbook.digital on your computer and click on the “Upload a new book” button on the main page. Select the EPUB file you want to upload. The book will appear not only in the web version of the Cloud but also in the corresponding section of your e-reader.
In addition, if you have e-ink device, you can also plug your PocketBook Reader to your computer via USB, then copy the DRM free EPUB files to your device.
If there are still the same issue, please feel free to contact us via support@epubor.com. Thank you!
Hello, thanks for your comment
I suggest you uninstall and reinstall the Epubor Ultimate to try again.
If there is still the same issue, please feel free to contact us via support@epubor.com.

Hallo Epubor-Team,
ich möchte den Schriftgrad bei der Umwandlung von epub-Datein in pdf-Dateien um 1-2 Grad verringern. ist das möglich? Wenn ja, wie geht das?
Beste Grüße an Sie
Gerhard Grimm
Wertes Epubor Team !
Mein Problem : Die Bezeichnung der gespeicherten datei folgt nicht jener der Ursprungsdatei ! ich habe screenshots angefügt !
Zum Beispiel : Die Ursprungs- Epub -Datei : Beate Maxian - Sarah Pauli 01 - Tödliches Rendezvous wird beim importieren in epubor in : Sarah Pauli 01 - Tödliches Rendezvous, Beate Maxian umbenannt und nach der Konvertierung in ein mobi file mit der Bezeichnung Sarah Pauli 01 - Tödliches Rendezvous abgespeichert. D.h. der Autor geht verloren ? Wie kann ich das korrigieren ? ich hätte gerne die ursprüngliche Dateibezeichnung : Author – Serie – Buchtitel beibehalten !
Grüsse aus Wien
Dear Epubor team!
My problem: The name of the saved file does not match with that of the original file! I have attached screenshots!
For example: The original Epub file: Beate Maxian - Sarah Pauli 01 - Tödliches Rendezvous is renamed when imported into epubor to: Sarah Pauli 01 - Tödliches Rendezvous, Beate Maxian and after conversion into a mobi file with the name Sarah Pauli 01 – Tödliches Redezvous saved. So the author is lost? How can I correct this? I would like to keep the original file name: Author – Seriesnumber – Book Title!
Regards
Hi
Program works fine, escept one niggling detail:
When converting a .azw file to epub, long hyphens are replaced by spaces.
Example:
In Kindle, the following line: ...American wilderness—wild still, .....
results in: ...American wilderness wild still, .....
(Kindle also won't let me select the actual long hypen from the book text. Apparently its not considered to be a character.)
(converting Zane Grey. The Desert Crucible. Kindle Edition. )
Thanks;
