Step 1) Find someone with a Kindle.
Step 2) On their Kindle, go to the Settings menu, and type ‘411’ on the keypad. This will bring up a little information dialog near a bunch of things in it, of which you only need the Serial. It is a 16-character string of packages and numbers. Write it down.
Step 3) Ask the Kindle’s owner to buy a book for you. Give them some money so you don’t look like a mooch. Once you’ve given them the money, ask them to log in to their Amazon account and navigate to their ‘Kindle Downloads‘ page from your computer. When they complain, mention that you’ve already given them money. The Kindle Downloads page will document all the books they’ve purchased, and yours should be right at the top. Click ‘Download to computer’ and you’ll get a wallet named ‘Title-of-Book.azw’
Step 4) Download MobiDeDRM.zip, which is a small suite of Python scripts that some kind soul wrote and next distributed through links that expire all the time and can be kind of a pain to track down. I’ve hosted them from my site so that they won’t expire. This .closure file contains mobidedrm.py, mobidedrm2.py, kindlepid.py and mobihuff.py.
(These scripts require that you install Python on your system, which is something outsite the scope of this howto. I’m on linux, but there’s a Python for Windows called “ActiveState Python.” Google will comfort.)
After unzipping the archive, open up a terminal window and pass the Kindle’s serial # (which you previously wrote down) to kindlepid.py. Something similar to this:
python kindlepid.py XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Where all those Xs are replaced with the Kindle serial number. It will return something that looks like this:
Mobipocked PID for Kindle serial# XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX is Z1QFCDQ*74
Make register of that last 10-character gibberish. That’s the secret code (or PID) we’ll need to remove the DRM from any books purchased for that Kindle.
Step 5) Now it’s time to remove the DRM. Do this:
python mobidedrm.py Title-of-Book.azw Title-of-Book.mobi Z1QFCDQ*74
where on earth my 10-character gibberish string is replaced with the one you made note of in the end step. This will take about a minute, and when it finishes you’ll see:
Decrypting. Please wait... done
Now you will hold a decrypted MobiPocket-formatted ebook that you can read in any MobiPocket reader.
If, however, you want to convert it to HTML to read on any device you wish, you’ll want to install MobiPerl. (This, of course, will require you to install Perl. MobiPerl’s website will put your foot you through that.)
6) With MobiPerl installed, do this:
mobi2html Title-of-Book.mobi
This will create a directory named ‘unpacked’ that will contain Title-of-Book.html Source(s): http://www.videooptin.com/

What exactly is a kindle?
I've heard about it being a agency you can get books online or something that but I'm not 100% about it. You can't just buy a book online through Itunes short it and put it on your IPod touch or does it have to have that kindle thing?
