After spending the last four hours reading all 59 pages of this post, I'm still confused. I'm not tech savvy and if it were up to me I'd have a giant carpetbag to lug around my books. However, airport baggage weight limits and the fact that I can't curl more than 20lbs have me hooked on my kindle. Thus... the long winded plea for help.

My computer runs on windows 7 and I'm trying to follow the directions mr. cabbage posted without much success. I gather that I must 1) download something called python 2) download something else called pycrypto. Upon downloading I run these two programs and hopefully (I think) some boxes and prompts will pop up requesting me to insert some keys (indeptkey/adeptkey) and voila- all my problems are solved?

However, when I go and try to follow step 1 (let alone step 2,3,4 and 5) I can't find python 2.6 that is all the rage on this board. Python.org indicates there's a new version- python 2.7... yet there's like six options for this download (seen here: http://www.python.org/download/). I'm not sure which one, if this is the right version, to download. I don't understand this language at all! I can speak three languages but computer is not one of them... what is windows binary? windows amd? linux...?

I can't get past the first step! Someone please take pity on me and help!
