Now, what I want to know is if it is that easy to do this so the mobi format ebooks can be read on the Kindle, why cannot a tool be made to change the awz ebooks so they can be read on other devices with Mobipocket? |

Seeing that you can't
buy books from the Kindle store without a Kindle anyway, this isn't as desirable, is it? You'd also have to get these things to accept the Kindle PID...which I belive the Mobipocket desktop software will?

P.S. mrkai, I rather enjoy your performance , but would you please stop putting part of the message into the subject line? It makes following your messages a bit harder. Last edited by igorsk; 12-13-2007 at 11:11 AM. |

You sure Igor? Or by devices to do mean "not Kindles".
I'm pretty sure you can link more than one Kindle device to a purchase. |

Whereas a MobiPocket download server all you to type in the PIDs of up to 4 reading devices, and will encode the book so it can be read on any of those devices, Amazon's download server provides no mechanism for manually entering the PIDs of other devices. Thus, one can encode a book purchased from a Mobi store so it can be read on a Kindle (with a bit of tweaking), but one cannot, and probably will never be able to, encode a Kindle book so it can be read on other MobiPocket devices. |

I meant legally, igorsk; not using Andreas' dodgy tool for it!

I didn't mean removing DRM altogether, I meant actually adding a second PID so that another device can read Kindle's file.

How can that be done? Using legal tools, obviously!

Well, you didn't mention anything about "legal" in your original question. Let me repaste it.

So yes, with a little modification you can make a tool to add extra PIDs to a Mobi file (which AZW is) without actually decrypting the content and read it on your PC or other devices. You decide whether it's legal or not... I guess it depends also on your country of residence |
