I’d like to buy a French comic I can’t find online from any store that sells French Bande dessinée (Amazon, fnac or anything else) and then ask for a refund so I can keep a nice *.cbz or *.cbr file on my hard drive.

Any guide out there on how to properly de-DRM comics? I’d like something easy if possible I’m tech and computer savvy enough but not “coding” savvy

    I got booted a long time ago because it’s impossible to keep a decent ratio on there (I downloaded two books, never stopped seeding them, and got banned), but Bibliotik has a lot of up-to-date tools on removing DRM from various types of ebooks. I would start by trying to find someone with access to Bibliotik.

      Why even suggest a tracker that’s basically impossible to join? BIB is super hard even by private tracker standards.

        Because they have up-to-date tools and guides, numbskull.

        They’re not “impossible” to join more than any other private tracker who doesn’t often have open signups. I got in on an open sign up, so it’s not like they don’t have them at all.

        I think Bibliotik has issues as well, but the fact of the matter is they’re one of the best sources for exactly the kind tools this person is looking for.

          Who cares what they have if most people can’t see’em?

          Last I checked BIB wanted torrent master on RED for recruitment. Nobody’s gonna bother with that for one comic volume. And nobody’s gonna risk their account inviting OP so you can forget about that too.

      I didn’t know this source so I’ll have a look.

      Thanks

      Edit : oh, seems private no? Do you know how could I get an in?
