If the books downloaded are books that were purchased, then it's up to the owner to decide if they want to remove the DRM (technically not legal but I don't think the police will be beating down their door). If these are library books that were downloaded, I don't think you want to advocate folks stripping the DRM from books they don't own (that would be stealing).\nQuote:\n\n Originally Posted by JSWolf \n So then the best choice would be to remove the DRM and not have to worry about what servers accept Kindle PIDs or not.

Packages in my set are made to work together. They are tested as such - by a lot of users, not only Russians. There is a lively Spanish community which does repack what I do to their liking. Just be careful of what you are picking to adopt - otherwise you may unintentionally get somebody in troubles far deeper than you want too.\n\nGoogle translation of the link says all this - fair and square.\n\nIt also has a detailed change log and Google does decent job translating - so it is readable in English - I did verify that. There is also a link to version control with all differences to all packages - if what you are asking is actually important to you.\n\nIf you do not understand something - ask, from time to time I am available here and I am almost always answering in English on Russian site too. Porkupan (aka boroda) is also present on both forums.\n\nAs for breaking apps - rather than \"adopting\" back something that already works it may make some sense and spent an effort on adopting applications to the black on white, so we could all benefit from your work.\n\nYou see fast scroll works far better with black on white than it does with white on black - this is the reason it was made in the first place..
