Hi all,

I carefully read through this thread to get my mobidedrm.py script working. After a few hours I finally got it and produced a DRM-free .mobi file. Unfortunately the process messed with all the chapter markers, and since importing the file into Stanza it's become unreadable. Random sentences act as chapter titles, the actual chapter titles have all been changed, all very messy. Has anyone heard of this before? And any ideas on how to either fix it up or do it again properly?

I used version 0.05 with Python 2.5 under Mac OS X 10.5.5 using this Terminal line:

Code:

python /books/mobidedrm.py /books/DRMfilled.prc /convert/DRMfree.mobi 'MyPID'

Hope I can work it out. I accidentally bought the book, thinking it'd work fine with my iPhone like the free tester did on the mobi website. But now I've come across this forum I've been really keen to try and get it all working.

edit: I just downloaded and installed ActiveState Python 2.6.1.1 and it made no difference.

Thanks for reading,
Nick
