G'day
I hope the very helpful people who created the Visual Kindle Guide are still watching this thread. I've read right through the thread, but not found the answer to my problem. (I had the same /usr/share/libtool path issues mentioned in a preceding post, but fixed them the same way, by adding the extra path component.)
Problem: I bought a Kindle (.azw) ebook for my husband, assuming you could read Kindle ebooks on Linux. Oddly enough, you can't. :S
So I wanted to convert it for him. No dice using Calibre ("It is a DRM'd book"). I'm using Kindle on the iPhone and Kindle for Mac: does anyone know how to find the PID on either of those? (I used Kindletools to calculate the PID of my Kindle for iPhone. However, that does not work in conversion: I get an error message saying the PID may be incorrect.)
I followed the Install Mobi2Mobi Mac instructions (using the latest version of jpegsrc). jpeg-8b installed correctly. gd-2.0.36RC1 installed correctly. CPAN had a lovely time packratting code all over my disk. The symlinks were created.
Now I've setup Mobi2Mobi for Mac, how can I use it to access my purchased Kindle book on Linux? I'd be happy to convert it to another format.
This restricted availability makes me very cautious about buying any further books in Kindle format for my family. We're a Mac/Linux household.
Thankyou for any help you can offer. You're welcome to PM me.
