That's because the Kindle also checks the supplier code in the file. The tool changes the supplier code to that of Amazon.

The Book IS NOT AUTHORIZED. If it were authorized, then the file would not have to be *made to work* Harry.

We are talking at cross-purposes. When I say "authorised", I mean that DRM has not be removed from the file. You couldn't post it on the internet and have it used by anyone with a Kindle. It will only work on the specific Kindle whose PID it has been encoded for.

Sounds like you are justifying "stealing" from the Kindle store because you already "own" a copy of the book in a non-Kindle format

Goodness knows that people here should know that I do NOT condone stealing e-Books. I've made that clear enough, I hope. Perhaps I need to write more posts expressing that viewpoint...
Format conversion is "fair use". This is a format conversion tool. It is NOT a DRM-circumvention tool.
