Kindle to|& Mobipocket?
Maybe this has already been addressed, maybe not.
Will Amazon sell Mobipocket books? Do they already sell it? I haven't seen any. If they never will, will there be a way to convert their Kindle books to mobipocket? |

Amazon does not sell MobiPocket ebooks.
The mobidedrm python script can remove the DRM from AZW files, making them into DRM-free MOBI files. Some Kindle ebooks are in TOPAZ (.AZW1) format, and these are not compatible with MobiPocket. Note that you need a Kindle registered to your account to buy Kindle ebooks. |

Mobipocket ebooks without DRM just work.
For Mobipocket ebooks with DRM there's some method to calulate the Kindle's Mobipocket PID, and registering that with your eBook store will let you download ebooks that will work on your Kindle. Or you can just strip the Mobipocket DRM, although silly laws make doing so illegal in some places. |
