Can I add my thanks for this wonderful tool.
One question - will it be developed so that it can deal with footnotes, which seem at present to be deleted entirely. |

If you do not have ereader2html.py, then you are out of luck. It was posted on PasteBin and is now expired. So if you don't have it, you can't get it on the net.

If you find his blog and read the comments then I think they were all reposted at another URL I know the ereader one at least was

Not being initiated into the mysteries of Python, is there a way a script such as this could be adapted simply to produce a non-protected ereader file which could be converted to Mobi by other means?
I was just wondering if this would overcome my difficulty with footnotes, which appear to be stripped out of the html output. |

What I'd like to see is someone take the MobiDeDRM and eReader2HTML python scripts and turn them into standalone Windows executable files, or maybe combine the two into one exe file. Derek |

Aaaarrgh! Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong? (mobidedrm.py script)
Okay, I'm obviously not that bright. I have been trying to deDRM a book that I bought from Mobipocket (that apparently is only available in digital format- believe me, if it came in "dead tree" format, I would have bought it that way to save myself some pain.) In any case, I've been trying to run Ivan's mobdedrm script and I'm just too stupid to get it to work. When I open the resulting pdb in Isilo, all I see is gibberish.
This is what I'm inputting in ActivePython: If image doesn't show, here's the link: http://picasaweb.google.com/daniesq/...32481269424162 If image doesn't show, here's the link: http://picasaweb.google.com/daniesq/...32487504410562 There should be images above, or links, but if not, here's the text: mobidedrm.py('host.prc','newesthost.pdb','PID') All scripts and books are stored in the same directory (C:\Python25\Tools\scripts). I've tried passing the arguments with and without the single quotes. The script runs and I get a resulting pdb, but like I mentioned, it's gibberish. I've tried to step though the script but I honestly don't know enough about Python to tell you what I'm seeing. Any and all help is appreciated. It is a sad day indeed when I have to potentially break the law to read something that I've already purchased. (By the way, the reason I'm trying to strip the DRM is so that I can read this book on my Ipod Touch. Reading on the Blackberry is doable, but I'd really like a bigger screen.) Thanks for any help you can provide, and God bless you!! in advance. Warm regards, Danielle |

Well, there's your problem. You can't read a Mobipocket book in iSilo, with or without DRM.
(And this thread is for the eReader format, which is not relevant to either program...it is a different program/format entirely.) |

I'm so embarrassed

Again, many, many thanks - and apologies for posting in the wrong place. :-) Danielle Okay, this conversation never happened. (Waves arm in amnesia-inducing Jedi gesture.) The script was working the whole time - I ran the mobi2html script on the now drm-free book and it converted just fine. Please forgive my massive ignorance and carry on - nothin to see here. :-) Danielle Last edited by daniesq; 07-19-2008 at 01:20 PM. |

You can read the book with the Mobipocket reader, or you can use the mobi2html program (from Mobiperl) to turn the newly-unprotected Mobipocket book into HTML, which you can then convert to iSilo (using iSiloX) if you like. Last edited by bwaldron; 07-19-2008 at 01:29 PM. |

Folks, I'm still a little lost. Where can I get Igor's scripts? I find lots of work he has done, but nothing that applies to ereader2html.
Help! Please! |
