I download my ebooks on a mac, which naturally doesn't have the software to open the files, but I can still strip the DRM on the same machine without them ever having been opened.
Books clearly behave differently! I've now got a non-DRM version, but it had to be opened and read first......which is what Surfergirl had to do as well. Ah well, there's something to look forward to next time (sigh....). Thanks to all for the suggestions and practical help offered and given. |

I still cant get it to work - I opened the book, I put in the first 8 digits only, etc., etc. Ah! I am so frustated. You guys have been incredibly helpful though.
Any words of wisdom? Ned |

You have to enter the entire PID. You may be getting it confused with ereader2html which uses your credit card (last) 8 digits.

But when I enter the entire pid I get the old - When I try this, inputting the shortened 8 digit PID, it tells me the correct PID is the 10 digit 'abc123...' - which is exactly what it rejected in the first place!
It then gives me 'invalid PID checksum' and does not convert. |

I get an error saying that the pid I am using does not match the file. I am sure this is related to Fictionwise changing the pid (they took out the * before the last 2 digits and I am unable to delete that pid or ad a new one). I am running WindowsXP.
Thanks for your help!! |

The PIDs with a "*" are Kindle PIDs, not Windows Desktop PIDs (these typically have a "$" as 8th character). Look under "devices" in Windows Desktop MobiPocket Reader, and it should include the PID for your Windows PC. Register this with FictionWise and redownload the ebooks. Confirm that you can open them with Windows Desktop MobiPocket Reader, then use mobidedrm with the newly registered PID.

UGH! I am pulling my hair out. I have v.05 of mobiderdrm.py. I keep getting invalid PID Checksum. I have tried single quotes, double quotes, the backslash. everything! The number I am entering is the number that is showing on my MobipocketReader for my PC and the number I registered at fictionwise. I want to convert the files to run on my sony prs505.
Any advice? Stacy |

I was trying to use the script shown in post #11:
def __init__(self, data_file, pid): ### BEGIN NEW CODE ### # Calculate PID checksum if just the first 8 chars are specified if len(pid) == 8: pid = checksumPid(pid) print "Full PID is %s" % pid ### END NEW CODE ### if checksumPid(pid[0:-2]) != pid: raise DrmException("invalid PID checksum") pid = pid[0:-2] but I keep getting the response: IndentationError: unexpected indent could someone please explain what the possible problem could be? Thanks. Jean |
