Mobi2Mobi Convert not working (license issue)

cslynch22 · 02-20-2011, 03:56 PM

I have been using Mobi2Mobi for years to convert my azm files to mobi files and remove the TTS flag (select and click delete box).

The latest book that I bought is giving me a new error when I move it back to my kindle:

"This item cannot be opened because it is licensed to a different user..."

I am not doing anything different than normal:
1) buy book
2) dowloand to PC
3) use Mobi2Mobi Gui to click delete check box
4) convert
5) move back to kindle

Is anyone else having this problem?

Amazon has recently made changes to how their DRM works. The Clipping Limit and TTS Flag metadata are now tied to the DRM. So if you change the TTS flag or the Clipping Limit (without removing DRM), these newer purchases will not be readable on your Kindle any longer - as you've discovered.
