Kindle where to find pid

Find all posts by mafro. Unfortunately, K4Android uses an "account secrets" file that would only be available if the device were jail-broken and even then someone would have to figure out how to decode this secret information in order to reverse the process. Instead of trying to calculate the correct PIDs for each book from this primary data, "Me" a commenter who posted to the ApprenticeAlf site came up with a wonderful idea to simply modify the Kindle 3 for Android application to store the PIDs it uses to decode each book in its "about activity" window.

Effectively "Me" has created an "Unswindle" for the Kindle for Android 3 application! Obviously, to use "Me"'s approach, requires an Android Developer's Certificate to sign the modified application and access to and knowledge of the developer tools, but does not require anything to be jail-broken.

This is a copy the detailed instructions supplied by "Me" to the ApprenticeAlf blog in the comments. The kindle3.

When I try to patch the latest version of the app with the patch, the interface is different in the latest version so the PIDs arent anywhere to be found Last edited by p1r : at PM.

Works perfectly!

Hi Kenren, So much glad to hear that my article helps you. Thank you so much for this tutorial, it was spot on and very easy to follow. First and foremost, thank you for the guide! The app seems to just crash on start up on Android 4. Does not work at all for me.

Same for me with Android 4. The app crashes. Visit the Kindle tool at Preston Lee see the link in Resources and paste your Kindle's serial number in the "Reader serial" box, deleting the spaces between the blocks of four characters. Optionally enter your email address and click "Calculate" to display the PID for your device. Click on the "Serial Number" link to display your iPhone's digit identifier. Copy the identifier to your clipboard and paste it in to the Kindle tool at Preston Lee see the link in Resources.
