Never mind though, people know it can be done, if something happens to mobipocket I can put it out there again. Besides, before that happens I will have finished my next project which might be able to do the same Aenea |

But you might get into trouble with the guys from Mobipocket, because you'll violate the EUCD/DMCA. Though I'd really want your program

He can't violate the DMCA -- he's not in the U.S.

Well ok, but he is a she. (Totally unrelated, I know )
There's still the EUCD, isn't there? |

Unrelated, perhaps, but not unimportant. Thanks for clarifying for me.
I'm not real familiar with the EUCD or how it would apply here, if you've got more info on it, then please do share. From a quick perusal of the Wikipedia article on it, it looks like it's probably holier than all the cheese in Switzerland. |

One of the bad side effects is that it became impossible to legally watch copy protected DVD's with free software (almost every DVD is copy protected with CSS). Of course I still watch DVD's on my Linux system, although it's not legal |

It is a bit more difficult to get all the necessary files though... And as for the DMCA, well, I can, as a non-US citizin circumvent a DRM legally... Aenea |

The main reason I hate DRM is:
1. I buy the movie/book etc and want to use any of my own devices. 2. Too many times the service closes down and most drm ends up locked for ever. I never ever ever agree to a expiration timer on my stuff. Ofcourse, if there was a month timer on an ebook but it is just 1 dollar, ok I choose that. I am very much interested in Mobipocket, but I am jittery about the DRM versions due recent incidents. So this software will be great. I am looking forward to a full easy to use version to back up DRM mobipocket into non DRM (or to read it on any other device or reader, e.g. FBreader). So..attagirl! |

By the way, MobiPocket PID's don't always have "$" as the 8th character. A modified version that discarded the last 2 characters out of 10 and ignored the "$" worked for me even on a PID without the "$". |
