Circumventing Adobe ADEPT DRM for EPUB
A pair of interesting Python scripts. One of which grabs your decryption key from the Windows version of “Adobe Digital Editions”, the other using the exported key to decrypt legitimately purchased eBooks and output DRM-free copies.
I imagine if one were to use them in conjunction with some sort of ePub -> Mobi converter (such as the open source “calibre”), one could purchase eBooks which are not available for the Kindle, conduct some sort of potentially illegal (Fuck you DMCA) wizardry, and enjoy reading said eBooks on the portable device of one’s choosing.
Unrelated: Currently reading “The Damned Utd” by David Peace on my Kindle.

finetune - playlists you can share
Stretching the DMCA streaming limits as far as they’ll go, a site that lets you build up a playlist from their collection, then share it with friends for free. The embedded flash player is pretty nice.
