Are you sure the MOBI has DRM? Encryption type 0 means no DRM.
If it is encrypted, it might be a "content encrypted" ebook. In other words, it has encryption but only using the generic MOBI key (not a PID-specific key). This means that can be read by any MobiPocket Reader software, on any device, but not by any non-MobiPocket software. To check for this, open the ebook with Windows MobiPocket Reader, right click in the library view and select Properties -> Summary and it will be listed as Content Encrypted. There is a version of mobidedrm.py that strips content encryption, see Mobipocket Decoder Tool #176. |

I did not know about content encryption. That is really odd. I did what you explained, and there is no encryption in the summary not even content encryption. The very strange thing is that in the manual of the dictionary it is explicitly stated that the reader has a PID maybe I misinterpreated it. However I cannot open this mobi file with calibre to convert it to epub to read it on my ipod touch. So maybe I can read it with the kindle software, which should only work for not DRM protected mobi files. |

I had a strange error occur when using mobidedrm v0.0.2 in linux using python 2.6.2 I get the following Error: invalid PID checksum. However in windows using python 2.6.2 the script works fine.
I'm at a loss as to why this is. I would prefer to NOT have to boot into windows, and would like to assist in correcting this. ( Feel free to pm me, or to point me to an active maintainer of the code. ) ====UPDATE==== Just put the PID in single 'quote' marks (or apostrophes for some) and the script worked fine. I've modified the script copy to show that requirement in the error messages. Last edited by demoric; 08-09-2009 at 03:31 PM. |
