I haven't done this (decrypting) in a long time, and I don't want to try re-learning it now. But maybe my old notes about doing this will do the trick for you if nobody else answers. If these notes don't help, I can't. But maybe this will suffice.

If this doesn't help, it also may be because you haven't told us specifically what you're trying to do. These are my notes for removing the DRM (for which I legitimately had the PID for the Mobi format) from a MobiPocket Reader file so I could read it in FBReader on my N800. Also, my example is for a Windows PC.

My notes:

Example of decrypting (removing DRM) from MOBIbook (MobiReader) with PID
Go to Python; select Run from File Menu
In Script File enter: C:\scripts\script3.py
In Arguments enter: AmericanGods.prc AmericanGodsY.prc VVBQTEW$DJ
I had Script and .prc file in same folder (don't know if that matters)
Or, from Command Line in DOS: C:\Python25>python mobidedrm.py AmericanGods.prc AmericanGodsY.prc VVBQTEW$DJ
python mobidedrm.py when.prc whenY.prc VVBQTEW$DJ

* AmericanGods is the book to decode
* VVBQTEW$DJ was my Personal Identifier for that book file

Don't know if that helps. Good luck!

Yes you can just use Terminal.

Save the ereader2html.py file somewhere on your system that you can navigate to using terminal. Perhaps in the folder that terminal opens at would be best for convenience.

Then type You should see something like:

So the first parameter is the pdb book (you must specify a path if is isn't in the same folder as ereader2html) the second is the output folder (a folder because an html book is made of several files), the third is the name you bought the book under, and the fourth is the credit card number you used to buy the book.
