Here's the problem with that scenario -- and I'm really getting tired of explaining it -- I use Linux! The K4PC + skindle solution doesn't work on Linux (not even if you find the old beta version of K4PC and get it working under Wine, I've tried).
Unless I want to walk across the street, knock on the neighbor's door and ask nicely if I can install some software on their PC, I'm out of luck. So is anybody else who doesn't have a Windows PC or a Mac in their home.
So, as much as everyone would like to think there's a global solution to this problem that will work for everybody... there's not.
So I panic... with the comfort of knowing I have every right to.  |
Sorry but i understand what changed and you don't seem to 100% like a lot of people in this thread.
Amazon didn't change the DRM sceme from what i know they changed the way of the PID used to DRM the books downloaded. Do if you run your calibre Plugin or the old mobi script it won't work-
If you don't have the possibility to get access to a windows pc (which i don't really understand but i think this really could happen to some people of course) you can always try to get your PID by using Mobipocket in version 6.0 and i think that should work out under Wine by what i know and run the mobi script with this new PID.
At least i can get my PID on my KDX with 2.5 running on it by using the old Mobipocket 6.0 software.
So take a deep breathe, don't panic and try to find a working way
But from what they changed i would guess it won't take to long until somebody finds a way to go around this problem in a "comfortable" way like before.
