And the publishers just don't care. I've just finished Equal Rites by Terry Pratchett, and the cover spells his name as Teryy. I don't think they'd let that kind of mistake happen in a print book version.

I just had a book I had to sort out big time because the CSS was a mess. The CSS was full of spaces and tabs that caused the book to lose the formatting. Then after that could I fix it so it didn't liike like an eReader formatted eBook.

Is it different from the v4 that was available yesterday?

# ineptkeymac.py, version 1

# This program runs on Mac OS X, version 10.6.2 and probably several other
# versions. It uses Python 2.6, but it probably also runs on all versions
# 2.x with x >= 5.

# This program extracts the private RSA key for your ADE account in a
# standard binary form (DER format) in a file of your choosing. Its purpose
# is to make a backup of that key so that your legally bought ADE encoded
# ebooks can be salvaged in case they would no longer be supported by ADE
# software. No other usages are intended.

# It has been tested with the key storage structure of ADE 1.7.1 and 1.7.2
# and Sony Reader Library.

Nice, if you add

import pickle

and substitute

with closing(open(keypath, 'wb')) as outf:
outf.write(key)

with

with closing(open(keypath, 'w')) as outf:
keylist = []
keylist.append(key)
pickle.dump(keylist,outf)

and

change

initialfile = 'adeptkey.der',
to
initialfile = 'adeptkey4.der',

it should work with the new scripts ...

But why have you changed the file format? The keys themselves have not changed, only the way are were represented in the computer. And then, in fact not even that on the Mac.

We changed the format because on a Win machine you got several keys in the registry (up to 4) and we haven't found any deterministic method to always get the right one. So we export all of them and try them until we get the right one.

Anyway, for compatibility issues it would be nice (for Mac users) but if they want to use the old scripts they of course have the freedom to do so ...

Well, I think they (Adobe) have a deterministic method
