If you use your username in ignobleepub, then use your real name (the name on your credit card). You may need to skip your middle name though.

You may also try to use the output file without any extension and rename it afterwards to .epub.

What is my username? I've heard it's not my email address. Where do I find it?

How do I use it in ignobleepub? That only asks for the key file, input file, and output file.

I tried the key generator without my middle initial. No go, same error, Key cannot be null.

You don't need your username. Just use
Code:

python -s ignoblekeygen.pyw "FirstName LastName" 1234567890123456 "bnepubkey.b64"
Where
1. "FirstName LastName" is your name from your credit card without your middle initial (don't forget to put it in quotes).
2. 1234567890123456 is your credit card number.
3. "bnepubkey.b64" is output keyfile name (assumes local folder).

Right, I have a key:

N---T1B*********O....y4=

(I changed it some so no one can use it to recover my credentials)

When I use it, I get Error: key cannot be the null string (see attached)

I have mentioned above that you may try to remove the EPUB extension of your output file when using Ignoble Epub Decrypter. And after removing DRM, just add the epub file extension.

ATM I don't have any other solution. Try to rename your input file to something simple like 1.epub

Thank you for this thread it helped me to decrypt a epub book so that
Digital Editions recognizes it. Also did you just change the name of the keyfile or the data in it? If you changed that the data in the file it will probably be no good as you just changed who you are and the book will not recognized the key as being you.
