Just hopping on to this thread. I have a Kindle 2, I use Mac, and I am trying to dedrm my kindle books. I've had my Kindle since November. I just installed Calibre on my Mac and then re downloaded all of my books from Manage Your Kindle.
I imported all of them into the Calibre library. No problem.

Now I would like to dedrm them in to normal mobi format and add those versions to my Calibre library as well. I tried to add the mobidedrm_plugin.py (in a zip) file as an addin, but Calibre did not seem to accept it.
I didn't want to spend too much time on this, and I know scripting fairly well, so I copied all my AZW files into a folder along with the mobidedrm.py file.
I wrote a .sh file with a line for each book in the following format:

python mobidedrm.py "Book.azw" "Book.mobi" 'MYPID'

I used the double quotes around the book names, because they often have spaces.

I got these messages for all of my books:

Extra Data Flags = 2
Error: no key found. maybe the PID is incorrect

I read through all of this thread:

• One messages says to use the V.06 of the script - but that version is not published in the thread :-(
• Then I found this on the last message on the thread.
  

  Any book downloaded after 2.5.2, even those bought before and downloaded from Manage Your Kindle, will not work with Mobidedrm.

• What are you referring to as 2.5.2? Is the DRM version? Does that mean that this script is not working on the latest version of DRM that Amazon has put into place?
• You mention the Skindle tool afterwards, but that is only for PC. Is there an equivalent for Mac?

Thanks for any info.
