I have installed Python et wxPython 2.6
I have downloaded MobileDeDRM

And i have followed the tutorial

So now i have a "outfile.prc" with no DRM! I use MobiledeDRM 002.py instead of MobiledeDRM005.py (no success with 005)

The pb now is how can i now if the file is really DRM free?????

I have transfered the outfile.prc to my N900 and it tell me "compression format not supported"!!!! What does it mean???

For info, i can read the "free trial file.prc" given by Mobypocket, so my N900 with fbreader can read .prc files!


Thanks for your help
To see if it is decrypted, i.e. DRM free, open it in Mobipocket Reader on your PC - on the left you'll see a frame with "BOOKSHELF" at the top. Just below that you'll see "ebooks". Click this & find your ebook in the bookshelf. Right click on your ebook to bring up a menu & choose "Properties", then select the "Summary" tab. At the very bottem of this window, you'll see "Encryption:" & the encryption state. If you have removed the DRM it will show "Non Encrypted"

As to the compression, Mobipocket ebooks can be compressed (I think there are two compression methods). It sounds like your file is compressed with a compression method that your N900 can't read. You can fix this with a little work.

First get Calibre and convert the file to RTF format, then use MS Word to change it to .doc format. Now DL Mobipocket Creator from mobipocket.com & use the .doc file to create a .prc & be sure to choose no compression.

There are probably other ways to get there but this is one way I know that will work.

There is a "mobi2html.exe" if you can find it online that will convert the .prc to an HTML file which can also be input into Mobipocket Creator. This would save one conversion step but I'm only vaguely aware of this program and have no experience with it.
