Help: Read Kindle files on my PC

[stephen212]

I discovered a website that details how to download Kindle (.azw) files so that Kindle books can be read on a computer. The process is described here (http://nyquil.org/archives/1128-Converting-Kindle-Books-a-painful-process-that-works-for-reading-Kindle-books-without-a-Kindle.html).

I need assistance because I'm not getting very far.

I've successfully downloaded the MobiDeDRM (http://nyquil.org/uploads/MobiDeDRM.zip) scripts and ActivePython to run them on my XP system. I opened the PythonWin terminal open typed in the path to get to the kindlepid script needed to convert the Kindle's serial number into a product ID which is needed to advance to the next steps. Unfortunately I have not been able to generate this.

I'm not a deep deep computer dude. Can someone explain (or better, type out) the correct formatting syntax necessary to run scripts on Python?

It's a lot to ask, I know. Please, someone, take pity on me. :o
