It looks like Fictionwise will no longer accept a Kindle PID (with the asterisk). When you enter the Kindle PID, it strips out the asterisk. Does anyone know what would happen if you used that PID to download a Secure Mobipocket file, then used kindlefix.py with the modified PID? Would the resulting file work on the Kindle, or not? I don't want to buy a book I can't use. I avoid buying Secure files if at all possible, just trying to confirm what is possible.

One option is to use mobidedrm to strip the DRM (e.g. provide your Windows Desktop PID to FictionWise). The DRM-free copies work on the Kindle, but it is generally thought to be illegal to strip DRM in the US. It is hard to see who is hurt, though, by doing this for personal use on ebooks you bought. |

Hi,
I followed all directions to obtain my kindle2 PID and my terminal window now looks like this: link removed on Amazon's request I have never used terminal before & terrified that I could have screwed up my system files -- is there any way to UNDO everything I did in following the directions? Help, please... |

See if you can do cd /usr/local IF you can then do mkdir bin Yes you can undo everything. But, nothing you did is going to hurt anything either. also, from above the first command failed and so did all the others, so the above commands did nothing. BOb |

oh thank you so much -- i saw the failed command notices but am obviously TOTALLY clueless about this stuff. i remember reading that i should never touch terminal if i don't know what i'm doing. and yet...well i had to go & fool around with it.
thank you so much for advice & help! edit: just tried it out-- christinas-emac:~ chibbs$ cd /usr/local christinas-emac:local chibbs$ mkdir bin mkdir: bin: Permission denied Last edited by xina; 02-28-2009 at 04:21 PM. Reason: add content |

Can you type set in the terminal and you should get a bunch of stuff. One of the lines will start with PATH ... can you past that here. BOb |

I am having trouble with this, too. I, also have the trouble with the first "cd/usr/local/bin" (no such file or directory). I tried the sudo mkdir bin command and got" file exists".... followed through with all the other lines and ended up (after kindlepid and the serial number) with "command not found". After all the other sudo commands I get "file exists" until I ask for the pid! It is so frustrating!! I have been working with it for hours. There is a book that the library offers that I can NOT buy from Amazon and it is the first of a series (why they offer the rest and not the first is a mystery to me!) I have a yr old Macbook pro and leopard. Did Amazon do something to the Kindle 2's? Or am I just dumber than I thought?! I just can't figure this out! PilotBob, (or anyone else!) PLEASE HELP!!

It took me a while to go through this thread, but I think I have it figured out. Thanks.
