Can someone (igor?) tell me: if you simply download a mobi book from a Mobipocket bookseller, with the Kindle device # included, then do the following things work?
  1. Use USB to put the file onto the Kindle, keeping the .mobi extension?
  2. Put the file on the Kindle by emailing the mobi file to it via Amazon?
Nope, that won't work.
Kindle doesn't check the publisher. It checks the "CustomDRM" flag which must be set in the drm record for Kindle's PID. That's what my second script fixes.
