Like I said, I had forgotten it was going to be a two step process, first liberating, and then figuring out how to convert the liberated file. It is progress, though!!

I am confused about one thing though...topaz files in Kindle for PC (and Kindle for iPhone and iPod, as I understand it), use the file extension .prc. Once decrypted from Topaz, shouldn't you be able to run mobidedrm on it, the same as you would a mobi/prc Kindle file? (I did try this, but for some reason I'm getting a "mobidedrm is not recognized as an internal or external command" when I try it.)
No. Because it all has to do with the format of the file and how it's organized etc. like the difference in epub vs mobi vs eReader vs topaz. They all have their own layout and specifications.
