Unfortuantely, the Calibre Plugins do not really work well on Linux because of issues running Calibre under Wine. Native versions of Calibre can not be used with the K4MobiDeDRM plugin because the plugin will not be able to find the information it needs to remove the DRM.
|
||||
|
||||
Although some of the scripts do work on native Linux, others require the use of a recent version of Wine.
|
||||
|
||||
Here are the instructions for using KindleBooks.pyw on Linux under Wine.
|
||||
|
||||
1. upgrade to very recent versions of Wine; This has been tested with Wine 1.3.18 – 1.3.22. It may work with earlier versions but no promises.
|
||||
|
||||
2. Some versions of winecfg have a bug in setting the volume serial number, so create a .windows-serial file at root of drive_c to set a proper windows volume serial number (8 digit hex value for unsigned integer).
|
||||
cd ~
|
||||
cd .wine
|
||||
cd drive_c
|
||||
echo deadbeaf > .windows-serial
|
||||
|
||||
Replace deadbeef with whatever you want but I would stay away from the default setting of ffffffff
|
||||
|
||||
3. Only ***after*** setting the volume serial number properly – download and install under wine K4PC version for Windows. Register it and download from your Archive one of your Kindle ebooks. Versions known to work are K4PC 1.4.1 and earlier. Later version may work but no promises.
|
||||
|
||||
4. Download and install under wine ActiveState Active Python 2.7 for Windows 32bit
|
||||
|
||||
5. Download and unzip tools_v4.5.zip
|
||||
|
||||
6. Then run KindleBook.pyw ***under python running on wine*** using one of the following methods:
|
||||
|
||||
From a Linux shell:
|
||||
|
||||
wine python KindleBooks.pyw
|
||||
|
||||
Or to get a Windows (wine) command prompt
|
||||
|
||||
wine cmd
|
||||
python KindleBooks.pyw
|
||||
|
||||
Or to get a "Windows" file explorer:
|
||||
|
||||
winefile
|
||||
|
||||
and then double-click on any .pyw files to run them in the wine environment
