What: KindleForPC DRM removal utility to preserve your fair use rights!
|
|
Why: Fair use is a well established doctrine, and I am no fan of vendor
|
|
lockin.
|
|
How: This utility implements the PID extraction, DRM key generation and
|
|
decryption algorithms employed by the KindleForPC application. This
|
|
is a stand alone app that does not require you to determine a PID on
|
|
your own, and it does not need to run KindleForPC in order to extract
|
|
any data from memory.
|

|
Shoutz: The DarkReverser - thanks for mobidedrm! The last part of this
|
|
is just a C port of mobidedrm.
|
|
labba and I<3cabbages for motivating me to do this the right way.

|
You guys shouldn't need to spend all your time responding to all the
|
|
changes Amazon is going to force you to make in unswindle each time
|
|
the release a new version.
|
|
Lawrence Lessig - You are my hero. 'Nuff said.
|
|
Thumbs down: Disney, MPAA, RIAA - you guys suck. Making billions off
|
|
of the exploitation of works out of copyright while vigourously
|
|
pushing copyright extension to prevent others from doing the same
|
|
is the height of hypocrasy.
|
|
Congress - you guys suck too. Why you arrogant pricks think you
|
|
are smarter than the founding fathers is beyond me.

|
Rationale:
|
|
Need a tool to enable fair use of purchased ebook content.
|
|
Need a tool that is not dependent on any particular version of
|
|
KindleForPC and that does not need to run KindleForPC in order to
|
|
extract a PID. The tool documents the structure of the kindle.info
|
|
file and the data and algorthims that are used to derive per book
|
|
PID values.
|
|
|
|
Installing:
|
|
A cygwin compatable binary is included. You need a minimal cygwin
|
|
installation in order to run it. To build from source, you will need
|
|
cygwin with gcc and make. This has not been tested with Visual Studio.
|
|
|
|
Usage:
|
|
./skindle <drm'ed prc file> <name of output file> <kindle.info path>
|
|
You need to locate your kindle.info file somewhere on your system.
|
|
You can copy it to a local directory, but you need to refer to it
|
|
each time you run skindle.
