Quick update; I've had no joy getting the scripts to run under MacOSX, but just for fun I installed activepython on XP running under Parallels on my MacBook, and that works a treat, so success in a slightly convoluted sort of way!

@ garygibson

All the files I've tried are secure mobipocket files - wouldn't be much point otherwise, right? When the script runs, there's a pop-up that lets you enter your PID. You can find your PID either from your device (under the 'advanced' menu on my Cybook) or through Mobipocket Reader if you have the software installed (PC only).

Edit: Just seen the other responses; will give the 'python --version' a try and see what happens, but at least for now I have something that works!

Thanks all!

Pete.
