Hacks Amazon Kindle Hack: Read DRM-protected Mobipocket content - Page 13

wallcraft · 01-29-2008, 11:56 AM

The example given on the mobi2mobi man page is:

Code:

mobi2mobi --outfile out.mobi --title "Correction of title" file.mobi

Note that the --outfile option is required and must be a new filename. I have also seen file.mobi as the first argument rather than the last.

Can someone make a webpage to do this? It should be easy to pull the python script to power a web form.

I would do it, but my hosting provider does not support python...

I did

mobi2mobi --outfile 100People.prc --title "100 people" 100.prc

and still get the messed up title

BTW I'm running it prior to running it through kindlefix.

How is the title messed up? If you send me the file 100.prc I will look at it to see if there is a bug in mobi2mobi or not (tpe@ida.liu.se or via pm).

I don't know that I can (legally) send it to you because it's a checkout from the library.
The title shows as:

DH N 3/4

Sound like a bug but not possible to fix without the file ot the first record of the file.

Does this work with books purchased from eReader.com? I'm planning on getting a book from there, but am scared to. I don't see anything about a PIN number on their webpage.

No. The eReader format is different from the MobiPocket format.

I have a book I purchased from Books on Board, before I bought my Kindle. It displays fine on my Palm T/X; however, I would prefer to read it on the Kindle.

Now here's the problem: the book is no longer available for download. (It is a rare example of a truly banned book.) So, I can't re-download it with the Kindle PID.

Is there any way to get this book into Kindle format?

Thanks!

See Mobipocket Decoder Tool. The resulting DRM-free PRC file will be readable on the Kindle.

Definitely works because one of my eReader books is longer available in any format and I successfully converted it.

Ameryx · 04-05-2008, 09:39 PM

Wallcraft & TallMomof2, Thanks for the pointers. I have indeed tried that, and get an error message: no key found. Perhaps the PID is incorrect. I have verified the PID, and so am at an impasse... Any ideas?

TallMomof2 · 04-06-2008, 12:22 PM

Wish I could help you but I've never seen that error message. If you find out what the problem is, please let us know.

I used the Mobipocket reader (6.0) to get the PID and used Igor's kindlefix to convert the format on a file I purchased from ebooks.com a few weeks ago. By all accounts, this shouldn't have worked from this site since most vendors don't accept the kindle code.
Was it the fact that I did the download over the Mobipocket reader that made it work?
