What format?
Can you convert your ebooks with Calibre?

Hello! New to this forum

I'm running skindle on my topaz prc ebook, this is the output:

PID for ______________ is: RP35Qa/U
Parse Error : Invalid Record, record dkey not found
No dkey record found
An error occurred, unable to process input file!

Anyone know why this is happening?

Can't find anything about your error. Try to use MobiDeDrm, unswindle, topazscripts, DeDRM AppleScript for Mac OS X 10.5, 10.6 instead.

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

Download DRM Tools Archive:
ebook DRM removal tools archive

Try a Calibre plug-in first. If it doesn't work, try other K4PC DRM removal tools.

All I get is skindle.... is not a recognized as an internal or external command.

Ideas?

Thanks

Open command prompt and use cd command to go to a directory where skindle.exe resides.

But I recommend to use something newer. See my previous post.

Sorry, I got lost....

1. downloaded Skindle
2. downloaded Kindle4PC app
3. registered this app as a user which bought a book
4. copid azw-file to skindle folder (name is short and without spaces)

... skindle cannot find kindle.info

Download the latest version of DRM Tools Archive. Then try to use the Calibre DRM removal plug-in for Kindle4PC ebooks first.

Hi,

is there something wrong with Skindle? I used it with no problem before and now it simply doesn't remove DRM anymore so I can't convert it with Calibre. (Calibre keeps giving me message that the file is DRM protected) even after I RUN-ed it with Skindle.

Thanks for any help!
