Re: skindle - remove DRM from KindleForPC ebooks (mobi and topaz)


I have a similar problem to others, but have not seen the solution. I have tried skindle (3 Jan 2010 version) without success in both Windows XP and Ubuntu OS. Also tried unswindle (24 Jul 10 version). I have an azw book purchased from Amazon that I wish to read on my Kobo.

I downloaded the K4PC app on 8 Mar 2011 and got an older version from a torrent file, and neither are working with unswindle.

OK, more technical detail if anyone is out there. For unswindle, I am using python 2.6 and the most recent version of unswindle that I can find, and get the error message: 'error: unsupported version of K4PC.'

For Skindle, I get the message: 'Attempting to locate kindle.info' and then I get the Microsoft crash notice. When I choose not to send a message to MS, the command line entry: 'Found Kindle.info location' is made, but the program stops.

I have tried Skindle in ubuntu using the same syntax as above, but I get the message 'command not found' and some suggestions to download a package; it doesn't appear that Skindle is compiled to run on Ubuntu/linux environment.

Can someone please help? This is annoying me to no end...

Thanks
