I do my de-drming on the Windows install on my Mac so I don't know if it's possibly a Mac OS issue or not. I have Python 2.6 and mobidedrm v5 and they work great, but as I said haven't tried in Mac OS. I'm sure someone here has though. |

I've been working my way through this discussion and I'm having very similar problems trying to do the same thing. I get a message saying "invalid file format"
I have a Sony 505 and unwittingly purchased a set of classic books from mobipocket before realizing they wouldn't be compatible. I just want to be able to read them. |

No, I guess I didn't but it makes little difference to me. I do almost all, 99%, of my ebook work in Windows since a lot of my tools (Book Designer, Mobi Creator, etc.) don't work in Mac OS.

Calibre
I see - it's opposite for me - Calibre is all I need now that I stopped using Mobipocket.

IT WORKS So now I'll start cleaning up all the drmed prc files I have, but I'm not sure I will buy any more. I may follow HarryT's advice (on another thread) and just start buying only non-drmed books. It looks like Amazon is slowly killing off the mobi format, so I'm reluctant to buy more PRCs, but I'm also not very keen to embark on another adventure with drmed epubs, it's just too much trouble to bother. I may stick to non-infested books from now on, and buy the rest in p-book format, at least I can resell them when I'm through... but we'll see how long that resolve sticks Anyway, thanks again to everyone here, you guys rock |

thanks again pdurrant.
One more question : Does removing the DRM also remove any information from the original file such as PID ? in other word, does the new unDRM file still has some information that could make someone identifie you as the initial buyer ? |

I don't think it has any individual purchaser information, but it does still include all the standard metadata that identifies it as an ebook that is only available with DRM. This includes which store you bought the ebook from.
