ereader2html error: IOError [Errno 13] Permission denied

Hi-

I am a newbie to this forum and was wondering if someone out there could possibly help me. When I try to run ereader2html.py to take the DRM off a .pdb book, this is what happens:

Code:

C:\Python26>python ereader2html.py outlander.pdb Outlander "My name" 12345678

eReader2Html v0.09. Copyright (c) 2008 The Dark Reverser

Processing...

Traceback (most recent call last):

  File "C:\Python26\ereader2html.py", line 884, in <module>

    sys.exit(main())

  File "C:\Python26\ereader2html.py", line 870, in main

    convertEreaderToHtml(infile, name, cc, outdir)

  File "C:\Python26\ereader2html.py", line 822, in convertEreaderToHtml

    file(os.path.join(imagedirpath, name), 'wb').write(contents)

IOError: [Errno 13] Permission denied: 'Outlander\\images/'

It looks to me that for some reason I am not being allowed access to the "Outlander" directory that I created for my files. Does anyone know why this has happened and what i can do to fix it? Thanks in advance for your suggestions! :confused:

Re: ereader2html error: IOError [Errno 13] Permission denied

Similar problem was solved by the following

Quote:

you did not properly select the file to be converted (the *.pdb file) the first time and so it tried to read from the eReader_Tools directory itself and failed with an I/O error.

The hint was here in the log …

PDB Path = “C:\Users\Me\Documents\Downloads\eReader_Tool s”

This should be pointing at the *.pdb book to be converted not at the eReader_Tools directory.

Which in turn caused this error:

IOError: [Errno 13] Permission denied: ‘C:\\Users\\Marcy\\Documents\\Downloads\\eReader_T ools’

Sorry...but I don't understand how to correct my error by what you told me to do. I am a little "challenged" working with scripts. :(

Create a new folder like C:\ebooks

Place ereader2html.py and outlander.pdb into the directory.

The open command prompt

Type

Code:

C:

and hit Enter

Type

Code:

cd \ebooks

Then run

Code:

ereader2html.py outlander.pdb Outlander "My name" 12345678

Re: ereader2html error: IOError [Errno 13] Permission denied

I did exactly what you said to do, and I got the same error message. :( I tried it on two different computers with the same result, as well. Any other ideas???

Try to change the outdir:

Code:

ereader2html.py outlander.pdb temp "My name" 12345678

Code:

ereader2html.py outlander.pdb c:\ereader\temp\ "My name" 12345678

Also have you tried to use erdr2pml.py and xpml2xhml.py instead of ereader2html.py?

Re: ereader2html error: IOError [Errno 13] Permission denied

Very frustrating! :mad: I have tried all of your suggestions - even erdr2pml.py, and the outcome is the same every time. Is it inpossible to take the DRM protection off of some books???? I can't imagine what the problem is. Any other suggestions? Thanks again fro trying to help!

Do you use 8 digits of the credit card number? Do you use the name that is on your credit card? Have you tried eReaderPDB2PMLZ.pyw?

Here is the latest log:

I have tried putting in bogus names and credit cards numbers to see if that was the problem, and the scripts stops right away and tells me that there is an incorrect name/cc #, so that isn't it. I guess I have that part right, anyway!

I looked for erdrPDB2pml.pyw online and can't find it... :confused:

I wonder whether the file is named erdr2pml.py.py or erdr2pml.py

Re: ereader2html error: IOError [Errno 13] Permission denied

I renamed the files so that they didn't contain "py.py" - and it didn't change anything. I also downloaded eRdr2PML v0.15 and renamed it erdr2pml15.py, and guess what? Same problem! :mad:

Code:

C:\ebooks>erdr2pml15.py outlander.pdb temp "Jane Doe" 87654321

I am stumped - as I am sure you are! I wish I had another book I could try the process with. Is it possible this book can't be hacked?

Re: ereader2html error: IOError [Errno 13] Permission denied

I wish I could help... Please try to contact the developer of the script.
This can be cause by anything from a script bug, problem with python installation to the need to delete the reader DB and re-download the book.

To my "Anonymous" friend out there...guess what? Re-downloading the book did the trick! I now have my book on my Jetbook and I am reading away. Thanks again, for your many attempts to help me!:D
