In
this thread in post four I wrote down exactly how I got the scripts to work. It took me a couple of days because I had to figure it out.
You have to do both scripts. The first script tells you your Kindle ID. Then you go to non-MobiPocket resellers (fictionwise, ebooks, and booksonboard are three that I know of that use different servers) and enter that PID in your personal settings. Each site is a little different.
Then you download your DRMed mobi books with your Kindle PID inserted. *But* the files still need to be massaged so that's why you run the second script.
The downside to using these scripts is that, at least in my experience, the vast majority of files will not show the title and/or the author on the Kindle. That's why you need to use MobiPerl. MobiPerl has a set of executable files so you don't have to download Perl and install that.
HTH, and I hope this is a little logical since I'm on day 3 of the flu and am seeing lots of pretty hallucinations.
