Until now my wife has only purchased ePub books to read on her netbook and I've deDRMed those using the excellent utilities so generously made available but her most recent purchase was from a publisher that didn't offer that option for the title: from Mobi, MS or PDF she chose Mobi (print/copy disabled). She has an mbp file as well as the prc.

MobiReader on the WinXP PC used for purchasing allows the book be read and states it to be PID-encrypted but, given the device PID (in 1234567$12 format), the 0,1,6 version of the Calibre plug-in reports an error in that it couldn't decode and will import the encrypted version. I'd previously thrashed around on the command-line with various versions of mobidedrm in specific directories and with the path amended for python (2.6.2) and for tools\scripts before using the plug-in.

Snookered - or have I missed something among all the threads over time here and elsewhere - or are there still avenues to investigate?
