Just to say thank you . It works perfectly. Hooray for Python and you.

Hello,

I am not sure if it is the right place here but following this forum I was able to remove the DRM from my epub books. I wrote a tutorial for the French users here http://ebooketkindle.wordpress.com/

Thanks a lot

Hi,

Can someone offer some assistance?
System is Windows XP
Python 2.5 and PyCrypto installed.
Ineptkey.pyw (v5 and 5.2) and Ineptepub.pyw downloaded and saved into the Python directory (C:\python32).

Double click Ineptkey.pyw - nothing happens, apart from brief hourglass cursor

Running from the command prompt elicits the following:

C:\Python32>python ineptkey.pyw
  File "ineptkey.pyw", line 362
    except ADEPTError, e:
                     ^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax

Any help gratefully received,

Thanks

Download ebook DRM removal tools archive. And try to use a Calibre plug-in first. If it doesn't work, then try newer versions of ineptepub.pyw and ineptkey.pyw scripts.

I am running Windows 7 64 bit and attempted this fix and the result was that I can generate the key and open the window, but I cannot find the EPUB file to select as an input path. It is simply not there, I tried moving the file around, to the desktop, etc, but no luck.

Any suggestions?

Use a Calibre plugin first.

Have you tried to use a Calibre plug-in instead?

I just wanted to say thank you for this information.

I bought my wife a Lookbook by Kobo, which was a nice unit, but it was slow and lacked features.

After a couple of weeks, I then bought her a Kindle to replace the Lookbook.

Unfortunately, she bought a book from Kobobooks (EPUB) and she wanted to place it on her Kindle (MOBI). I found that to be impossible so I started looking for a site to instruct me as to how to get the title installed on the new Kindle. I ended up here.

Once I figured out that the "download" of the two .pyw files was a tiny little word at the top right of the script page it went like a hot knife through butter. I downloaded them, renamed them to the appropriate file name, and ran the scripts. The rest was very intuitive.

I only need to do this for a single title so I will not likely be back here again. I have learned my lesson on where to buy and what not to buy.

Thank you again.

Sincerely,
