That really was easy. I am converting one to another format now as a test. Thanks so much for your hard work.

    raise DebuggerError("could not read memory @ 0x%08x" % (addr,))
TypeError: %x format: a number is required, not c_void_p
P.S. I did forget to mention that I am using XP Pro 32-bit with an AMD Athlon processor.

If unswindle created a book without popping up an error, then this is probably an error in mobidedrm. Which version do you have? When you get a chance, could you see how calibre handle the decrypted output?

Looks like you've still got v2 of unswindle -- hit up the blog for v3. And you don't need PyCrypto for this one (although you do still need it for ineptepub, etc of course).

That's the same errors we were getting with version 2 of of Unswindle. Make sure you are using version 3 that was posted less then an hour ago.

I tried with a bunch of books and got the same error; with K4PC closed, unswindle opens it and shows the books; when I try to open a book by double clicking, the error comes.

I open KP4C directly, open a book and close K4PC and then run unswindle, it gives the error immediately without opening KP4C

I can't believe how simple that was. I converted it to LRF and opened it in Sony's Reader Software. This beats taking the book from a back up of my iPhone. Thanks again.

I bought a book from Amazon just now, your script worked fine. Brilliant!
Loaded into Calibre - looks great. Converted to epub - looks great in the Firefox add-on epub reader.

Thanks again!

Make sure you have version 3 of the script and Python 2.6.

Tried on a different computer (still XP SP3) and it works like a charm, so probably on my main station there is too much junk background running that interferes


Great job!!

Wow! I just spent the last 24 hours away from Mobileread in an attempt to migrate my wife to her new Windows 7 computer, only to come back and find the nut not only cracked, but shelled, salted and put on a silver tray. Mega-thanks to LaBBa and Cabbages!

I imagine that the mods will be removing some of the active links to unswindle.pyw soon, but always remember--don't use these tools to steal.

Yeah, we know Amazon already found out it's been cracked since they vigilantly monitor this site! I expect the you know what letter to come any day now!

Since one has to buy the book to remove the DRM I do not think that one could use the tool to steal. Passing on the liberated book to another person is another story however. My biggest fear is that Amazon starts putting out more books in the topaz format--which look lousy on the Kindle.
