I've installed Kindle For PC and skindle and each time I run it I get the error no valid pids available failed to find drm key. I'm wondering if this is because I don't have a Kindle device but have just been using the iPhone app instead?
Does anyone have any ideas on how to get around this? |
You will need to download all of your books again for the
Kindle for PC program. When you look in your "Manage your Kindle" area at Amazon you will see a list of your books. There will be a "Deliver to" button. Choose the name you gave to your "Kindle for PC" when you registered it (or register it with Amazon if you haven't already). skindle will only work with the version of the ebook DLed for the PC where skindle is running. It will not work with the version of the ebook DLed to your iphone.
Note: Being a command line statement, skindle does not like blanks in the file names so replace them with a dash or underscore or just remove them.
For those dealing with unDRMing a file that is marked .prc, I have noticed some of my books marked .azw.prc. If this is what you're dealing with, just delete the .prc from the file name and treat it like any other .azw file. Should work with .tpz.prc in a similar way.
I have two .cmd scripts written that eliminate the need to open a command prompt. If interested, send me a PM or if enough interest is shown, I'll post here. A good script writer could probably make them a lot slicker but they work which is always my main goal.
