The common denominator among all those that turned out this way is that they are downloaded thru .acsm and not ebx.etd... Then, I tried with a test file from diesel-ebooks (using .acsm) and I was able to open it... Yet, I got the previous error with the books I bought from there. |

Sure. Bought from ediesel w/Acrobat Reader 6 years ago. Imported into DE when DE for Sony Reader came out, opens fine in DE on Windows as well.

Thanks, man, that's excellent news!
I've yet to try it but I'm sure it'll do nicely, as the ePub one! Thanks again!! |

If there's no way to re-download the PDF with Digital Editions, it may require another version of the script to strip the DRM... |

One remark:
Of course the script doesn't remove (personal tracking) ids in the content (not the metadata) of the PDF. That means if the ebook provider inserted some tracking URIs (check for the codeword with a hex editor or search for hyperlinks) you have to remove and substitute it yourself. The same occures with watermarks or similar methods. I have found a personal tracking id in an URI in my providers pdf so it is recommended to check for that before you 'loose' your ebook to somebody else (to be clear: of course I don't support piracy) ... Alternatively you can add the substitute command in the def escape_string(self, string): function (worked for my provider). Last edited by joblack; 02-26-2009 at 01:05 PM. |

If you aren't "loosing" the books, as you shouldn't be any way there is no need to worry about identifying info on the files. BOb |

Its none of their business how long I read which ebook. I'm very concerned about my privacy. They aren't putting some wireless account reading devices on paperback books. Last edited by joblack; 02-26-2009 at 01:01 PM. |

That doesn't sound so bad to me, actually. I think I might be a fan of "social DRM." It doesn't prevent you from using the file in any particular way or sharing it with any particular person, but provides some disincentive for out-right piracy (yarr!).

Well, for some people that is not a problem but in my opinion it's none of their business what I do in my free time (as long as it's in the law). And think about the possibilities. Imagine they would get that you were reading a book about sex longer than the average pearson. How long would it take that somebody will call you and make you an offer related to that ... |
