![]() I recommend the latter course, as it avoids having to keep track of which books were downloaded with which ADE versions.Īdobe Digital Editions 1.7.2 tosses a monkey wrench into the procedure for decrypting Adobe eBooks that I described in iPhone: Reading Adobe/EPUB eBooks. Or they can re-download those books in ADE 1.7.2 and use a newly generated r file, from ineptkey v.4.3 or ineptkeymac v.1, to decrypt the newly downloaded books in any version of ineptepub other than v.4. Users that have an old r file that was generated while ADE 1.7.1 was active can, if they wish, hold onto it and use it to decrypt books that they downloaded before the ADE 1.7.2 update. It will work only with books downloaded with ADE 1.7.1 or earlier. Even though it's the right format for ineptepub v.2, it will produce a "problem decrypting session key" error when used with ADE 1.7.2-downloaded books. When ineptkey v.4.3 came out, I mistakenly told readers in my original post below to input its output file to ineptepub v.4, which led to "index out of range" errors.Īny r file that was generated prior to ADE version 1.7.2 is no longer usable with eBooks downloaded with ADE 1.7.2. That file was intended for ineptepub v.4. ![]() While ineptkey v.4.2 was current, it generated an adeptkey 4.der (not r) file in a different internal format than r. as ineptepub v.4 is likewise already obsolete. Version 4 of ineptepub does not work with ineptkey v.4.3, the latest ineptkey version, but only with ineptkey v.4.2, which is already obsolete. Windows or Mac users can alternatively use ineptepub_auto_version3.pyw (v.3 of ineptepub) or aineptepub.pyw (v.4.1 of ineptepub, which is different from v.4), both of which decrypt whole folders/directories of Adobe eBooks rather than just a single Adobe/EPUB file. The purpose of ineptepub is to use the key generated by either ineptkey or ineptkeymac to decrypt Adobe eBooks. v.2 has been the "standard" ineptepub version for a long time now, and it is again. There is now (see Step 4 in iPhone: Reading Adobe/EPUB eBooks) a new version (v.4.3) of the ineptkey Python script for Windows users, the purpose of which is to derive a key to decrypt Adobe eBooks, and also a brand new ineptkeymac Python script (v.1) for Mac users, the purpose of which is the same.Įither the ineptkey v.4.3 Python script for Windows users or the new ineptkeymac v.1 script for Mac users will produce an r output file that can be input to version 2 of the ineptepub script. Here is the latest (hopefully correct) information, which is fleshed out in iPhone: Reading Adobe/EPUB eBooks : ADE 1.7.2 changed the way a crucial decryption key is stored when the ADE activation takes place - when, that is, you "authorize" your computer to use your Adobe ID and password. It was an attempt to help you cope with the release of the 1.7.2 update to Adobe Digital Editions. My original post, which is preserved below for historical purposes but has its text struck through, was wrong in certain important details and quickly outdated in others, for which I humbly apologize.
