Help duokan Open failed

Climber · 01-19-2011, 08:13 PM

Hi,

I was wonder someone could help with the duokan problem I'm having.
I installed Duokan successfully on my kindle however when
I downloaded a PDF from my local library it goes throughAdobe digital edition. (14 day loan)
I manually drag the PDF from that folder to the DK_document folder. I see the file in my screen however when I tried to open it, it keeps telling me open failed.

I know it probably have a password which the I don't know because its a library loan so how do I by pass this?

I tried the same method with a free book I downloaded there was no problem whatsoever .

Could someone offer a suggestion?

Thanks

The PDF you have is DRM protected, Duokan does not open those.

To be able to read it on your Kindle you have to “liberate” it first… (check the forum if you want to know more about i).

Best regards,

Thanks.... so far there are 3 methods of freeing DRM as I understand it?

using Adobe 6
use Python with ineptkey43.pyw + ineptepub41.pyw
use something called calibre?<--- How do one get this software into kindle?
I know it converts the DRM PFD then there is an upload option from desktop to ereader option. seems like its very easy.

Haven't tried any of the above yet as I am at work right now. Any suggestion as to which is the easiest choice?

Thanks.

Calibre -- it is a free download. Install it on your computer, then Google Calibre plugins (Apprentice Alf, first post). Once you have the right one, you add it to Calibre by going to preferences/plugins. This will be explained in the txt file that accompanies the plugin. Sorry, cannot give more details on this forum, as it is forbidden to assist people in removing DRM. It is very, very easy though.
