I have had my Kindle for 24 hours and spent a good amount of time trying to use the Python kindlefix or mobidedrm scripts to remove DRM so I could use library books on my Kindle.

I have followed all of the script discussions, struggled understanding Python, continuously got syntax and ljust errors to the point where it waas pretty frustrating.

Just to try some other way to resolve this, I decided to use my XP based desktop, not my Vista based laptop. Of course, the kindlefix program worked immediately.

I am now able to read these library books on my kindle. The new issue is fixing some of the metadata that got corrupted in the conversion.
