eReader Decoder Tool

wallcraft · 02-10-2008, 01:23 PM

The "Dark Reverser" has been busy this weekend. In addition to mobidedrm we now have ereader2html:

Quote:

Converts eReader books to HTML
Usage:
ereader2html infile.pdb outdir "your name" credit_card_number

As pointed out by AnemicOak in the Mobipocket Decoder Tool thread, this tool would be better if it also exploded DRM-free eReader files.

Of the major e-book formats, Adobe is now apparently the most secure. Perhaps because PDF encryption has been through the DRM wars.

I made a new version, 0.02, that works better for certain files.

AnemicOak · 02-10-2008, 03:49 PM

Yep, the new version works with the Fictionwise freebie that the first version errored out on.

And where will I find this tool please?

We aren't able to say. If we allow links then there could be legal trouble. Do a Google search and follow any hints given in the posts.

Still does not work with eDictionary. What a pity...

Do you have .01 or .02? .02 works on more eReader format eBooks then .01.

Having used a Palm TX for a while as an ebook reader and just recently gotten a Cybook Gen3, I was really happy to come across Darkninja's tool! Being able to read my old ereader books on my Cybook has made me sooo very happy. I was a bit reluctant to go to an Eink device, since none of them are able to read the DRM ereader files.

I wish the book publishers would decide to drop DRM like a lot of the music industry seems to be doing. I know I'm much more likely to purchase a book or album if I know I'll be able to still read or listen to it on something if the unit I'm using now dies (or in the case of Mobipocket - if the company's web site goes down). I think that the majority of people who actually pay for something in the first place aren't going to be the people who pirate. (True in my case at least.)

Anyway, on a side note, I think I've run across a bug in the 02 version - I've gotten 'NameError: global name 'b' is not defined' (line 240) on a couple of files.

There you can read about my reversing!

Thanks, darkninja, works a treat.

It is the most wonderful feeling, taking a drm'ed file and making it drmfree. I almost wish more format were drm'ed

Your blog is a great idea and solves all the problems of linking to your code.

You need to be aware that, if you live if the United States, the writing and distribution of DRM-removal tools is a criminal offence under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA). PLEASE take care - I wouldn't want to see you get into trouble over this

I tried the ereader tool. Is it to be expected that it runs for a very long time (i.e. more than 5 minutes)? I tried it on a Mac, MacPython 2.5.

Edit: just downloaded version 0.3. Working as expected. Thanks!

TallMomof2 · 02-15-2008, 01:47 PM

I'm running a very fast Quad Core and I'm only using at most 35% of my CPU and it still can take a while especially on very big files. Over 1MB take upwards of 5 minutes and I'm running 0.3.

smaulz · 02-19-2008, 01:01 PM

Okay, I must be touched in the head or something. I've downloaded 0.3, followed the instructions, and have yet to make it work. I keep getting an "incorrect name or cc#" error. I've double-checked everything, even going so far as to reset the codes on the ereader.com website, and still nothing. I'm sure I've got the correct information, I just can't make this work. Thoughts? Help?

[edit]
Skip it, I AM retarded. The underscores in the cc# were giving me trouble. All that work for nothing.

Thanks for this, by the way! I'd pretty much kissed those books goodbye when I got my 505. It's good to have them back! THANKS!
