Wow, I came here to post that exact problem. I can decrypt in my Windows VM. I've verified the .der file is the same whether created on Windows or Mac. I've re-downloaded the files on the Mac (instead of copying from the VM). But nothing works. If I use the epub file that I downloaded in the VM and the .der file I created on the Mac, but do the decrypt on the Mac, it works, but that kind of defeats the purpose in getting this running on the Mac. I'm running python 2.6.1 on Mac OSX 10.6.1.

It seems that files that are downloaded on the Mac never work for me, only the files downloaded from Windows. Looking at the files in a hex editor (one epub downloaded in the VM, one downloaded on the Mac), they differ near the very end and that's where the problem lies. ADE on the Mac will read the file, but the decrypt fails.

Suggestions?
