Hacks KindlePID doesn't work with DX - Page 2

If only these strangers wouldn't have to be so shy and could exchange ideas over the internet in a public forum, perhaps even update a wiki. Ah, what a breadth of fresh air such freedom would be, if it could exist.

eff.org ?

Well, they could, but Amazon chased them all away.

A friend of mine's cousin wants to know how to get a Kindle DX's serial number.

The fastest way is to look at the label on the box (if you still have it).

GatorDeb · 07-27-2009, 01:49 PM

And if you don't have the box...?

sirbruce posted a fix for the code for the DX - can't remember the exact thread - one of the early DX threads

here it is https://www.mobileread.com/forums/showthread.php?t=49235

If I understand correctly you use that AFTER you have the serial number....

I don't have mine with me, but I believe it is on a label on the back of the DX at the bottom between the speakers - teeny print.

Don't see it. My speakers are on the bottom of the DX.

type 411 from the settings screen to get the serial number. Remember to use the alt-key.

Hello,
When I put the serial into the MobiPocket Reader it does not accept it. Why? Can someone help? MobiReader 6.2 problem, maybe?

This is normal. Amazon owns MobiPocket and they have disallowed Kindle PIDs from MobiPocket sourced ebooks. You can use the PID with MOBI ebooks provided by OverDrive, e.g. from Books on Board and from lending libraries. You can also use it to strip the DRM from AZW ebooks via mobidedrm.

Grrr, is mobidedrm Python script?

Yes. If you want to strip the DRM from an existing MOBI ebook, then use the PID from a device that reads the ebook (e.g. your Windows Desktop). To strip the DRM from an AZW ebook, use the KDX's PID. Note that not all AZW's have DRM (if not, just rename them from .azw to .mobi and you are good to go). Finally, stripping DRM for personal use is legal in more places than you might think but it isn't legal everywhere.

My guy told me to adjust the kindlepid script for the DX Global with

<CODE DELETED VIOLATES MR POLICY TO ALLOW THIS HERE>

My guy adjusted this in Dreamweaver, and got a perfectly fine PID when running the command in DOS

(the Kindle serial number indeed is printed on the back of the device itself)
