Basically adapted from
pdurrant's post:
- Download and install ActivePython 2.7.2 for Windows (x86) from this link. Even if you have a x64 system. When I used the 64-bit version, it didn't work.
- Download kindlestrip_v134.py.zip from the post linked (here)
- Unzip. To make it easier, I unzipped and copied kindlestrip_v134.py to C:\Test
- Copy the mobi files you want to shrink to the directory where kindlestrip_v134.py is located (i.e., C:\Test)
- Open a command window (Start --> Run --> cmd.exe)
- Use the cd command to get to the directory where the files are located (i.e., "cd c:\Test" without quotations)
- Then type "python kindlestrip_v134.py NameOfOldFile.mobi NameOfNewFile.mobi" without quotations and inserting relevant file names for NameOfOldFile and NameOfNewFile
- 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!
