Yes, it's part of the way I strip the DRM from Kindle books. You're right, you need just the right version of Kindle for PC. The version of Wine that's on Ubuntu 10.04 seems to be OK; I haven't had to fiddle with it, except for the winetricks mentioned in the post. These <http://okomestudio.net/biboroku/?p=931> are the directions I used. On ubuntu, you don't need lib32nss-mdns. Combined with the plugins for calibre I pointed to previously, I am now able (on one computer) to strip Kindle DRM. -- Laura (mailto:lconrad-O0WJhd4tT3hg9hUCZPvPmw at public.gmane.org, twitter: @serpentplayer) (617) 661-8097 233 Broadway, Cambridge, MA 02139 http://www.laymusic.org/ http://www.serpentpublications.org After much pondering, I think I understand a basic reason why a glass of something reviving is so welcome in the early evening. Partly, of course, it's just that, to revive, to relax, but it's also a convenient way of becoming a slightly different person from your daytime self, less methodical, less calculating -- however you put it, somebody different, and the prospect of that has helped to make the day tolerable. And, conversely, it's not having that prospect that makes the day look grim to the poor old ex-boozer, more than missing the alcohol as such. Changing for dinner used to be another way of switching roles. Coming home from work has a touch of the same effect. Writers haven't got that advantage -- when they finish work they're at home already. So perhaps they need that glass of gin extra badly. Any excuse is better than none.
