If you make that your current directory and then run the ereader2html.py command what is the result?

Yep. I'm not a python expert... but that message tells that something is missing. Either in your ereader script or your python install. I would suggest...

1. Get a new copy of the .py script from the internet and see if that resolves this. If not.

2. Reinstall python26.

You should be able to just type "cd\python26\tools\scripts".

I or someone else really need to come up with a Batch file which can take any files in a folder and automaticly run the script and convert the files.

Not hard at all... in your batch file put the following:

ereader2html.py %1 %2 "My Name" 12345678

Then you can run the batch file passing in the file name and output folder like. (Assume you named the batch file e2h.bat)

e2h MyBookFileName.pdb outputfolder

As pointed out by AnemicOak in the Mobipocket Decoder Tool thread, this tool would be better if it also exploded DRM-free eReader files.

Of the major e-book formats, Adobe is now apparently the most secure. Perhaps because PDF encryption has been through the DRM wars.

I have installed and run eReader. In the scripts file, after running the script, I find a book, called book.html. Should I now be able to run Calbre with that book, assuming that is the result of running eReader. So much to know. Thanks for any help.

Yes, point Calibre at the book.html file. However, it should have appeared in a subdirectory of your script directory, e.g.:

ereader2html ebook_name.pdb ebook_dir "your name" credit_card_number

will create the subdirectory "ebook_dir" (if it does not exist) and put the ebook (book.html and images) there. This is important if you start with all your .pdb ebooks in the same directory. If you already have each ebook in its own directory, then you can run ereader2html in that directory and use "." as the directory (which means the current directory) if you want.

I had 5 DRMed eReader files and using ereader2html I was able to convert4 of them.
On the other one I get this error: incorrect eReader version 259 (error 1).
Any ideas?

Thank you for your help.

I've just got the ereader2html script and am now struggling. I keep getting permission denied when I try it. I'm on a Mac, any ideas?

You need to be a bit more specific. What command are you running? (Obscure your name and CC of course.) What are the exact results? What folder are you running from? What folder is the script in? What folder is the ebook file in?

Try:

python ereader2html.py infile.pdb outdir "your name" credit_card_number
