help with old .pdb ?

bwana · 03-27-2010, 04:20 PM

Dont know if this is the right forum, but I have an old pdb I cannot read. My cc # was replaced ages ago and now I want to get that pdb onto my iphone. Of course, I know I could convert it with calibre and then send it but my problem is that it is encrypted. Is there any way that just using my name I can extract/ decrypt the pdb?

tried ineptkeymac.pyw and got a 4kb file but could go no further with ineptepub.pyw

tnx.

A PDB with credit card DRM is an eReader ebook. To strip the DRM you can use ereader2html.py, but you need to know the credit card number used as a password.

The store that sold you the ebook often includes a clue to the credit card name and number, and sometimes they will let you redownload the ebook with a new CC name and number.
