Hi Rachel,
I am doing this under Vista, so if you are using the same, perhaps the steps I used to get this working may be helpful to you.
1. Install python windows as outlined in the Visual Kindle Guide. I don't have a Kindle -- one of these days I will actually decide which reader to get, LOL -- but the procedure was outlined so nicely, even I could follow it
2. Create a working directory.
3. Copy ereader2html.py to working directory.
4. Copy ereader pdb file to working directory.
5. Open file explorer and browse to working directory. Right click an item in the list on the left and select "Properties". Highlight the directory information after "Location:". Right click and select copy.
6. Open command prompt.
7. type: "cd " (no quotes needed) and right click to paste the directory information you just copied, and hit enter. Now your command prompt is pointing to your working directory.
8. From the command prompt, enter the command as documented:
ereader2html.py infile.pdb outdir "your name" credit_card_number
I usually just paste the same directory information for the outdir argument, adding to the end another level to the directory (usually \bookname) so the resulting files will be in that directory.
There's probably more clever ways to do this, but it works for me.
Regards,
Peake
