PID problem
I purchased and downloaded a Mobipocket Reader format book from an e-retailer. I was given my site name (my email address) and a password that I was told I would need to read the book. I wanted to upload the book to my Sony 505 and so thought that Calibre would change the format for me. Calibre pointed out that the file had a DRM that I would need to remove with third party tools. I found Python25 and mobidedrm2.py and installed these. On using the command line mobidedrm2.py (originalbookname) (requirednewbookname) (password from retailer) I got a message "invalid PID checksum". I have tried using just my sign in name, password, and combination of the two as my PID.
I am able to read the book in Mobipocket Reader having used my retailer site sign in details on first opening the book.
Curiously I have tried to send the book to my Palm LifeDrive and whilst it transfers into the ebooks directory it does not list in the library window of the LifeDrive version of Mobipocket. When I registered the LifeDrive in Mobipocket Reader it gave the LifeDrive a PID which is different to either my sign in name or password from the retailer.
I have two questions therefore.
1. Anyone have any suggestions as to what I should use as my PID when using mobidedrm2.py?
2. Should I edit the PID given to my LifeDrive to the password I was given from the retailer in the hopes that I can then find the book in the LifeDrive to read?
Hope this all makes sense. I am such an inpert when it comes to computers.
