The truth is that AZW is as hackable as Mobipocket is using the same program. I think one of the safest formats is LRX. That is the Sony format with DRM. That has yet to be hacked to remove the DRM. We will eventually have lrf2html once it's finished being written as part of Calibre. So from what I see, Sony is safe and Amazon is not unless they go for Topaz.
