If I'm trying all this after the update of DE, can you tell me what page on this thread I should start at?

Go to pastebin.com. Search for ineptkey.pyw 4.3 and ineptepub.pyw 4.1. Follow instructions in those files.

I don't think Kindle reads ePub, so you'll have to convert from ePub to some other format that Kindle reads.

No, I am trying to use a coupon I got from KOBO before April 1st. I need to do this before tomorrow at midnight. I need like six books for my April Book Clubs. Most of them I can get cheaper from KOBO using the coupon, Amazon wants like $9.99 per book.

I have downloaded everything but when I click on them they say I need PyCrypto to run them. I have PyCrypto 2.1.0, ineptepub 4.1 and ineptkeymac.py. What am I doing wrong?

Just wanted to add my thanks. Now i have books formatted to my taste for my eight hour flight tomorrow

You must not just download PyCrypto, you must also install it. And then it must be installed for the Python version that the scripts are using. Mac OS X has its own version of Python aboard but if you also installed a custom Python version you must make sure that PyCrypto belongs to the version of Python that the ineptepub will use.

You can try the following:
1. Open the Terminal application (in Applications/Utilities)
2. In the window that opens type the following two lines, each line ended with the return key:
python
import Crypto

and copy the contents of the window here. Then quit Terminal.

Under Windows you need to install PyCrypto, from the "PyCrypto Prebuilt Python Binaries for Windows". It probably needs to be a 32-bit version and a 32-bit Python.

It 100% needs to be 32-bit Python with 32-bit PyCrypto. For whatever reason, the 64-bit Pythin/PyCrypto does not work. Also has to be a 2.6.x version of Python.

The latest scripts do work with 64-bit Python + 64 bit PyCrypto. But if you have a choice it is better to install 32-bit versions because there might be other scripts that do not work with 64-bit.

Not sure is MobiDeDRM works with 64 bit or not. But I do agree using the 32-bit version will make sure things work.

Mobidedrm does work but unswindle not. Anyway, this thread is about epub so that was what I referred to.

I used the inept files successfully in December but am not having success with a bn book purchased today. The adept key is created successfully but when I try to decrypt I am receiving an error that the file is not a zip. Any help out there please?

Thanks

It sounds like you don't have an epub. It's probably an eReader file. You can decrypt those, and then you'll need to take the decrypted files and use something like Calibre to convert them to ePub.

Sounds like the file you downloaded is in eReader format, not ePub.

You folks are awesome!
