If it is encrypted, it might be a "content encrypted" ebook. In other words, it has encryption but only using the generic MOBI key (not a PID-specific key). This means that can be read by any MobiPocket Reader software, on any device, but not by any non-MobiPocket software. To check for this, open the ebook with Windows MobiPocket Reader, right click in the library view and select Properties -> Summary and it will be listed as Content Encrypted. There is a version of mobidedrm.py that strips content encryption, see Mobipocket Decoder Tool #176. |
Thanks for your rapid answer.
I did not know about content encryption.
That is really odd. I did what you explained, and there is no encryption in the summary not even content encryption.
The very strange thing is that in the manual of the dictionary it is explicitly stated that the reader has a PID maybe I misinterpreated it.
However I cannot open this mobi file with calibre to convert it to epub to read it on my ipod touch.
So maybe I can read it with the kindle software, which should only work for not DRM protected mobi files.
