It is a shame that Amazon threw its weight around at MobileRead, because kindlefix does not circumvent DRM and is entirely legal in the US. It is still available from its original blog posting (another indication of its legality). |
Did I miss something? What happened?
There's no legal danger here from Amazon, can't imagine what are you referring to...

It can be difficult to learn the "command line", but the good news is that the Kindle Visual Guide, once decimated by Amazon's strong arm tactics, again has sections on Command Prompt Vista/XP/Mac and Install Python Windows. This might be enough (with the readme.txt that comes with kindlefix) to get you to the point where lending library MOBIs work on your Kindle.
If not, see if you can use KindleDRM. This python script does not touch DRM, be it will tell you if an AZW/MOBI/PRC ebook has DRM or not. Even Amazon would likely agree that this script is legal, so we can tell you how to get it working (and all python ebook scripts are similar). If you can use kindledrm, you can use kindlefix and the kindle python script that can't be named.

Get me a used K1 around $200 or less and I'll make those scripts into a no-brainer binary you just have to run after you magically found it on a European server, hosted in a country Amazon has no business, links pointing to a Chinese anonym ftp space...
Seriously though, why would anyone care about Amazon's DRM?
If you don't like it, don't buy goods with intrusive DRM including ebooks (this is my way of life.)
