kindlepass: Retrieve Audible activations for older devices
As you may be aware, Audible devices/apps require that a license file be present to allow the playback of audible content.
As it stands, the Audible/Amazon login flow has changed so much that older Kindle models (1, 2, DX & 3), can no longer log in and retrieve this license by themselves. Additionally with Amazon's apparent shelfing of AudibleManager. There is now no real way for these old devices to retrieve their activation and play .aax and .aa content. Introducing kindlepass, a tool for streamlining the retrieval of licenses for these devices. Written in python and working on both Windows and Linux. Features

On Linux here, keeps choking up and failing.
Code:

Looks like eog is missing from your system, you should be able to install it using APT or the equivalent package manager for your distro.

Wait, how would.I download audio books to a K1? I don't think Amazon directly integrated Audible on it,.especially because I can't go on Manage My Devices and force Amazon to deliver the books...

Thanks
Sorry I never realised that anyone had responded against this thread.
You've actually found a bug with the eog problems you were facing. The script should have been falling back to loading the captcha in the web browser if eog wasn't present. That's fixed now so thanks for highlighting it. I've additionally added a section on how to actually transfer audible books to old kindles as its surprisingly hard to find any information on it on the internet nowadays: https://github.com/kennedn/kindlepas...ing-Audiobooks I hope that helps. |
