u/OhYeaTotally from Reddit:

Hi Fam -

If you have tried all these options and your RENTAL azw4 still isn't DeDRM'ing, I may have an subsidiary solution. Btw, this is only relevant to Mac users.

Q: For those of you who, when you go to edit the mobidedrm.py file in the DeDRM program folder and nothing works, still. Why?

A: It's because there are actually TWO mobidedrm.py files.

  1. The one in the main DeDRM folder is specifically for the Windows version of the script.

  2. The file the Mac user needs to edit is a lot more convoluted depending on which version of the DeDRM you download. The most recent DeDRM 6.5.5 will not work on a Mac because Alf made the DeDRM program an externally mounted NTFS drive, rather than a fluid program that runs from your system.

  3. You have to download an older DeDRM and carry the actual program file over to your desktop before you can terminal/pico into the file you need to edit/change.

Additionally - The two things I have learned from all of this is you don't even need Calibre. You just need an older version of DeDRM that doesn't operate by mounting to your system as a "Read Only" external drive.

Hope this helps. xoxox
