I'd like to remove the DRM protection from a couple of my eBooks, just for PERSONAL USE (since they are locked, I cannot read them). They are protected by the Adobe ADE DRM.

On the Internet there are many ways to get the result, but most of them are outdated. Is there a simple and effective one?

This is the simplest way that I have found:

Install Adobe Digital Editions using winetricks
```
winetricks adobe_diged
```

Download and install ePUBee within the same wine prefix used by Adobe Digital Editions



$ cd ~/Downloads

$ wget http://download.epubee.com/ePUBeeePUBDRMRemoval.exe

$ WINEPREFIX=~/.local/share/wineprefixes/adobe_diged/ wine ePUBeeePUBDRMRemoval.exe

Start Adobe Digital Editions and login to your adobe account

Add your DRM'ed books and wait until they are readable (decrypted)

Run ePUBee. It should automatically decrypt any files added to Adobe Digital Editions to
```
~/.local/share/wineprefixes/adobe_diged/drive_c/users/${USER}/Application Data/decrypt/
```

Use Calibre or your favorite ePUB management tool to get the ePUB's onto your reader
