Hi,
Actually there are standalone scripts for B&N epub, B&N eReader pdb, Adobe epub, Mobi, Kindle for PC /Mac, And Topaz all with GUI frontends all in the Tools v2.3 zip archie.

All of these have been modified so that PyCrypto is no longer needed if you have OpenSSL installed (Mac OSX and Linux already have both Python and OpenSSL preinstalled so users of those systems are good to go).

For Windows users they recommend ActiveState Active Python 2.6 or 2.7, 32 bit version. There is a readme which tells Windows users where to get OpenSSL as well. All of these are free downloads.

The only tool not part of tools v2.3 is the ineptpdf version. Alf has links to it on his site. Mac OS X /Linux users should download the ineptpdf 7.6 .pyw script as it has been modified to use OpenSSL as well. Windows users have achoice of that script or a later script that supports FileOpen PDFs as well.
