Getting "Unsupported version of kindle for pc" with unswindle v6rc1 and k4pc v1.1.0

[PLBriggs]

Folks:

I'm experiencing the same error message about "unsupported version of kindle for pc" using unswindle.pyw v6-rc1. My current version of K4PC, v1.1.0, is dated 04-May-2010.

The code, obviously, is:

def _get_hexdigest(self):
path = self._exepath
sha1 = hashlib.sha1()
with open(path, 'rb') as f:
data = f.read(4096)
while data:
sha1.update(data)
data = f.read(4096)
hexdigest = sha1.hexdigest()
if not PC1KeyGrabber.supported_version(hexdigest):
raise UnswindleError("Unsupported version of Kindle For PC")
return hexdigest

Regards.......Peter

Kindle For PC was updated recently and it doesn't work with unswindle v6 rc 1.

You need to use an older version of Kindle For PC. But you need to uninstall the newest version first, delete the "My Kindle Content" folder and the Amazon folder in the Local Applications directory. Then install an older version of Kindle4PC and turn off auto updates!


I have found a couple of download links on the net:
