(Note: "SomeName" can be any name you want to give the Python script file. Using the USB cable, copy newnamefile.prc to the Kindle. In a command window (I'm using XP), type SomeName.py downloadedfile.prc newfilename.prc KINDLEID 5. Download the Python script from and save it as SomeName.py. (Not sure what that signifies, but I found that the "PX" format doesn't cooperate.) 3. Purchase and download the book in "OD" format. Determine the PID number of your Kindle, then enter that as a Device for "OD" format books at BooksonBoard. I was trying to get a French-English dictionary I had purchased from BooksonBoard into a format that the Kindle would open, and use as a dictionary. OK, ignore my last, I either a) figured it out, or b) got lucky. The script will output the fixed book with. It should already include Kindle's PID (which you need to specify too). Kindlefix.py "fixes" a Mobi book so that it can be read on Kindle. It's possible that some vendors will refuse this PID, as it has an asterisk in place of the traditional dollar sign (Fictionwise works fine). You can then add this PID at a Mobipocket vendor site and redownload books with Kindle's PID enabled.
Kindlepid.py generates Mobi PID from Kindle serial number. Linked archive includes two Python scripts.
After fixing that, I could read the book on Kindle. AZW files have a flag set in the DRM info which is not present in books bought from other vendors. Well, I've discovered the algorithm used to generate the PID and was able to use it on Fictionwise, but there was another catch. We've known for some time already that Amazon's AZW files are actually Mobi files, but Amazon didn't share Kindle's Mobi PID which would allow one to buy encrypted Mobi books for Kindle.
