4. Go to your python folder, type "kindlepid.py your_UDID"
5. the resulting 10 characters is your iPhone PID, which is tied to your purchased .prc.

Help me get my iPwn Kindle PID
Ah ha! There is an updated kindlepid.py (azw version 2) out there that will take the iPhone's UDID and return the proper PID!


HOW TO FIND YOUR IPHONE KINDLE BOOKS ON A JAILBROKEN PHONE

Here is the kludgey way to locate your ebooks on your iPhoneKindle:

JailBreak your iPhone
ssh in from an OSX Terminal with unlimited history
cd /User/Applications
ls -lR
command-F (search for "Kindle.app")
the obfuscated directory will be made clear and you can then cd into that and subsequently down into the more clearly labled directories (i.e. .../Documents/eBooks)

Note that the prc file names are CODES, not NAMES. Easiest thing is to just deDRM all the .prc files, then drop all the resulting .mobi files into calibre and let it do its magic! :-D

I did the kludgey way: go to your iPwn Kindle App and just Delete(Archive) all your books. Leave the one or few you want to convert and the prc files will be apparent back in the SSH session.
"scp" those files to your Mac, and happily deDRM them for backup and use wherever the Hell you want!


Just say NO to DRM!!!
Dumb Retrograde Mercenaries? :-P
