OK, I might be getting somewhere with help from PilotBob and JSWolf. I've been back to Mobipocket's website and downloaded a totally new copy of the book just in case messing around with the first one 'upset' it. With this new copy, I can read the book on my PC. Also, the python batch file runs and happily says it's decrypted successfully so that part seems to be working. I've tried putting the converted file through calibre but it comes up with a page of errors, starting with
"UnicodeEncodeError: 'ascii' codec can't encode characters in position 4-6: ordinal not in range(128)"
The converted book file loads on my book reader but the text is in computer-gobbledegook. This problem probably belongs in a different forum section now and I probably need to do more research.
Thanks
Helen
