I am not a kindle owner but I would like to enjoy some of the free books that are on Amazon's website. I would like to remove the DRM of these books so that I can read them on my Sony Reader. I hope this isn't crossing a line as the books are free. Obviously I understand why this is a grey area on the Mobileread forums so if someone feels like PM'ing me an answer please do. I downloaded Kindle for PC so that I could get the free kindle books and I read that Calibre can de-DRM kindle books with the proper plugin installed. Well I've installed the proper plugin but now it tells me to configure it in the preferences by entering a PID or serial. Well I don't have a Kindle so how would I go about doing this? Does this method only work for people who actually have kindles? Cheers for any help.
