Origin of the Tools
The tools for removing DRM from ePubs were originally posted at i♥cabbages’ blog. The tools for Kindle/Mobipocket were originally posted at The Dark Reverser’s blog.
They have since been improved by many people, but mostly some_updates, DiapDealer and Apprentice Alf. While there are many sites that redistribute these tools, the most up-to-date versions of the tools are currently released here.
