Ok, so I've tried ineptpdf versions 1-5, and I downgraded to ADE v1.71, and I'm still getting the book key error. I bought the ebook from lulu, and it's pdf v1.6.

One other slightly complicating problem is that based on someone's advice somewhere on here in a way earlier post, I deleted a registry key having to do with adobe. Now when I try to run the ineptkey, it comes up with this error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "C:\Users...ineptkey.py", line 198, in main
retrieve_key(keypath)
File "C:\Users...\ineptkey.py", line 159, in retrieve_key
type = winreg.QueryValueEx(regkey, None)[0]
WindowsError: [Error 2]

The system cannot find the file specified

I had already ran it before that though, so I've been using the older adeptkey file when I'm trying to decrypt. Which is from before I downgraded ADE. Should that matter? If so, anyone know how to fix the registry?

Thanks so much for all your work on this. I bough the book quickly without reading the fine print and I was shocked to find out it wouldn't display on my kindle. I thought we were out of the stone age with this DRM nonsense. The book industry should get its act together very soon on this stuff or they're going to pay with huge piracy losses.
