What files? You need to make your questions more specific.

I have the book which is a bunch of numers_enc.prc and the mobidedrm04.py on my desktop.

I dragged the script into python, i get errors, I type the command line, I get errors.

well. I have been on haitus for a bit. Now, I converted to epub etc. When I tried in stanza, the pictures did not appear, only the text. Is there another way to convert? I just want to print it at this point.

Try Calibre. Stanza strips all kinds of things. It is good for reading on an iPhone but not for anything else.

I tried Calibre. It only converts to epub. I have no clue what to do next.
If mobipocket allowed me to print the ebook I would probably be better off!.

Appreciate any help you guys can offer.

I think what he is saying is trying reading your ePub in calibre rather than in Stanza.

Internally, MOBI is HTML. Once the MOBI file is DRM-free, use Calibre's command line program mobi2oeb to "explode" the MOBI to HTML. If you have run mobidedrm you should be able to run mobi2oeb, which is a similar python program. Once Calibre is installed, mobi2oeb should already be in your command "path" so just assume it is there and issue a command such as:

Code:

mobi2oeb -o book_html book.mobi

where book_html is a subdirectory where you would like the HTML and images to go (it does not have to exist yet).

Once you have a HTML file, use whatever you like to create a PDF version. I'm not an expert on this part but html to print should be simple.
