2. Download kindlestrip_v134.py.zip from the post linked (here)
3. Unzip. To make it easier, I unzipped and copied kindlestrip_v134.py to C:\Test
4. Copy the mobi files you want to shrink to the directory where kindlestrip_v134.py is located (i.e., C:\Test)
5. Open a command window (Start --> Run --> cmd.exe)
6. Use the cd command to get to the directory where the files are located (i.e., "cd c:\Test" without quotations)
7. Then type "python kindlestrip_v134.py NameOfOldFile.mobi NameOfNewFile.mobi" without quotations and inserting relevant file names for NameOfOldFile and NameOfNewFile
8. Hit enter and let it run. A smaller file with the name you put in place of NameOfNewFile should be present in your directory once it's done.

That should work for you!

Thank you for the detailed post 7hir7een.
