The script runs on your computer, not on the iLiad.
You need to install a software called "Python" (google for the right version for your computer).
You can follow the instruction provided by python itself for the installation.

After that you can create a directory on your PC, put your books in it, and run the script (open a shell window and run the command line).
It does not work with DRM protected books, so you have to unprotect them to make iLiad show covers and metadata (look in the Mobipocket forum: you'll find another python script to remove protection).

After the run of the script you'll find a set of folders, one per book. Just copy them to your iLiad via USB and enjoy!
