Has anyone been able to download an Amazon MP3 store album with this yet from the N900 microbrowser?

I'm stuck trying to get amazon.com to issue me a correctly formatted cookie that will let me download the .amz file for my album purchase download but I just can't get it.

I'm following the instructions from here:
http://code.google.com/p/pymazon/wiki/HowToAmzDownload

But for some systems, it requires that you manually edit the cookie that Amazon gives you and change the version number. The how to page says to go to 1.0.10, but this forum reports that Amazon has updated again and you'll need to mark your cookie as 1.0.11:

(look at the post by Lee.Ann.Goldstein on July 16th 2010)

Problem is that on the N900, the cookies file is a sqllite file. While it's not exactly plain text, I can still edit it with vi. When I do so I find the Amazon cookie and it does get issued to the N900 browser as 1.0.3 (stupid Amazon).

So I changed it to both 1.0.10 and 1.0.11 and in both cases, the cookie is not accepted by Amazon and it instead issues me another 1.0.3 cookie.

I'd hate to have the ability to download Amazon MP3 store albums on my N900, but be forced to use a desktop browser to first obtain the .amz file.
