I have decoded things on the Mac OSX side to the point where I have all of the correct CharMap1 through 4 strings identified (CharMap2 is different from its Windows counterpart) and so all I have to do is figure out how the data in the kindle_info file is encoded with the equivalent the Windows crypt32.dll side on the Mac.
It could be the Keychain services API (but no new keychain entry was added when Kindle4Mac was installed - I ma not sure if that means anything at all), but it could also be the OpenSSL library which has been statically linked into the executable.
I have looked but I can not figure it out.
I am beginning to think an "unswindle" style approach might be the way to move forward on the Kindle4Mac side of things.
Oh well,
