If you rely on library loans or rented ebooks, removing DRM violates terms of service. The “DRM removal failed” error sometimes occurs because the software intentionally blocks loaned files – though Epubor doesn’t admit this. No – if you’re a technical user. Calibre + DeDRM is free, more reliable, and provides better error messages. epubor adept drm removal failed
