How to find my PID?

vibrunazo · 08-18-2010, 01:51 PM

Hello, I just bought my first kindle e-book on amazon and I downloaded it on my android device. I want to break to DRM to convert it to something else. The book is a .prc file with TOPAZ DRM. I've found the scripts for it on this forum but I need both the book file and the PID to decrypt.

I have only 2 kindle readers, the android reader (motorola droid) and the windows reader (windows 7). But:
- On android I know where the book file is, but I cannot find the PID
- On windows 7, I can find the PID (kindle.info file) but I cannot find where it stores the book on the hard drive

I realize both the book file and the PID are unique per device, so I need either to find the PID on android or the book on windows. How do find either?

The windows books are in your documents folder inside a folder called "My Kindle Content" or at least they should be.

Thanks a lot! I was able to easily convert the .prc to .html now, to my surprise the pid wasn't even necessary. Even better ^^
