Reading Kindle .azw file in HanLin Reader

joesun · 12-18-2008, 04:54 AM

I own both Kindle and HanLin V3. How can I read Amazon's .azw file with HanLin reader? I am doing this because HanLin is more handy. I tried to rename the file extension to .prc but mobireader come up a message that Amazon is not on their publisher partner list.

The only way is to strip the DRM, using mobidedrm, to create a DRM-free MOBI version. You need the Kindle PID to do this, which can be found via kindlepid - see Visual Kindle Guide. The guide covers the python scripts kindlepid.py and kindlefix.py, but mobidedrm.py is similar to kindlefix except for its argument list.

Please note, however, that DRM removal is illegal in many countries.
