Both Mobipocket (.prc/.mobi) and Microsoft reader (.lit) are easy to strip. (not break - you must know the keys with which the files were encoded).

If you're on windows I'd advise going for .lit files, since in general they have the best quality HTML and images, and are easiest to convert to other formats.

If you're not on Windows, obtaining DRMed .lit files is very hard or impossible, so I'd advise going for Mobipocket.

eReader format can also be stripped easily, but has a very specific coding of the text, which can be converted to HTML, but means it's not as convenient as the other two.
