Thanks but it's a team effort. We're getting ready for the flood of new Kindle owners who took advantage of the Oprah discount. There are shipping delays now but they'll be here in a couple of weeks.

I think I asked this before. I don't see it anywhere on the site. Course, I haven't looked.

Is there a way to contribute monetarily? Its got to cost something to run such a site.

Even if you don't have a Kindle the KindleFIX/PID tutorials could be followed to learn how to run pretty much "any" (*cough* mobidedrm *cough*) python script if you just change the script names to the script you want to run.

Leep and pilotbob! I'm more like a parrot on this job. *They* know what they're doing... I don't... well now I have a better clue after they're hand holding.

Doesn't that fall under Rule #5?







(There is no rule #5, for those of you who don't join in the Lounge madness.)

Many thanks!

The Mobi2Mobi GUI v016 is available and works both in Vista and XP. I'm working on a Visual Guide page for it as well (though it is so very simple to use).

Thanks Jad (for creating the GUI) and Wallcraft (for a great tweaking suggestion)!

Hey Mods, Can this thread be made a sticky? Right up at the top of the forum where the Amazon title tracking thread is. Thanks.

Edit: Oh yeah, if you sticky it please change the title to "Visual Kindle Guides for KindleFIX, KindlePID, Mobi2Mobi and Mobi2Mobi GUI"

I'd like a bit more information than that in the title.

Here's one that's a bit shorter: "Visual Kindle Guides for KindlePID, KindleFIX, and Mobi2Mobi"

Still requesting "Sticky" status for this thread.

I just used this as an example for another Python script, but it does not explicitly say how to open a command window (because this is covered in KindlePID). I suggest making the page stand-alone by adding this step.
