I'm jealous of you who are discussing how to use python. I still can't find the bloody scripts! I've fallen on something called pastebin which just wants me to install some sort of pasteit program. What the Sam Hill is that? Other sites want me to download via a torrent. Now my understanding of a torrent is that I have to let others download the same stuff from my computer and I sure as you-know-what do not want to open my computer to others, so maybe I've misunderstood that too.

I've also fallen on links that lead to nowhere, of course.

Can anybody give me a recipe or at least a hint?

Frustration, frustration, frustation.

I have just discovered something on my Kubuntu JJ system which might do the affair, Ktorrent. But I can't find a torrent site I can use without signing up and paying.

I thought this stuff was supposed to be free! What gives?

The best place to start to look for copies of the MobiDeDRM python script is in the responses to DarkReverser's Weblog. The latest version is 0.05, which came out in December, so start with responses since then.

Pastebin is a site for posting source code. Typically you click download and you get a text (.txt) file. For a python file you would rename from .txt to .py. Under Windows, make sure you are seeing the filename extension. After the renaming the file should be identified as a python script (yellow and blue icon).

Ok, how on earth do you get to C:\Python26\Tools\scripts in the python command line?

Never mind, I was using the wrong command line. I think I got it.

Look for the link in the January responses, or PM me and I'll try to find it again and send you a link. And when you download the file, make sure you do as the previous poster stated and change it to the .py extension. Also, I after I ran the script through Python, I had to change the name of the file to mobidedrm (instead of the number it downloaded as) for the script to work to convert my ebooks (otherwise I got a "mobidedrm isn't a command message" or somesuch message).

I hope this makes sense.

I think you'll find that it helps to use the magic incantation f31e88df6; or googling the incantation might help.

So far as I can tell the version offered on the blog is the 02; googling the incantation above will get you the 05 version.

I got through recently with f16546831 and will try tonight.

I all I want for Christmas is to be able to use them on my iPhone (since I recently switched from Mobile Windows at the behest of my wife).

After trying trying and trying, finally I got it.

I wuold like to share my experience:

I am using winxp, have some drmed-ebooks which I can read by mobilepocket reader on my PC.
First, I tried the newest version of mobidedrm.py (I mean ver. 05). And it didn't work, I indicated "invalid PID number" or "invalid PID checksum" over and over. Even when I try to follow your advices (somethings like put in single quote, cut off the 2 last number etc...).

I also tried to modify the ver. 02 code as pdurrant adviced. But it didnot help. Actually, it indicated some errs at the line I added.

So, I returned to use the original of ver. 02. It worked well.

And I noted that I'd had a stupid mistake before I succeeded.

If you change the file name (say mobidedrm02.py) I have to change the command also. In this case (mobilededrm02.py) you have to use the command "mobidedrm02 inputfile.prc ouputfile.prc PID" instead of "mobidedrm inputfile.prc outputfile.prc PID".

If you just follow the instruction (like me ever done), "mobilededrm ..." then you will got the same error over and over.

Thanks all of you for many advices and exciting feelings.

After some research and a lot of reading I figured I would give it a go. I THOUGHT I finally figured it out. I was able to strip(using Python) and convert a prc file using Calibre but when I opened it, bits and pieces were missing. A sentence here and a sentence there. All looked fine until you start to read. So instead of continuing to play around with it I though I would ask what I did wrong. Any Suggestions?

Terisa de morgan · 10-29-2009, 04:03 AM

Yes, you can read the original book. For me, the only book with that problem was because the original had the same problem.

pdurrant · 10-29-2009, 05:29 AM

It's just possible that you might see something like this if you weren't using the 0.06 version of MobiDeDRM. But I'd expect the problem to be more a few characters here and there, rather than whole sentences.

Check the original and see if it has the same problems.

I just checked pastebin.com and, if you search for mobidedrm it comes right up
