Just answering the OP's question. For _me_ the answer is "no - it is not easy". Doable? Yes. Are there fine folks on this forum who will help via private message? You bet. Is it "worth it"? Depends.
I've done a lot of this type of stuff. Searching for answers on the net. Getting programs to work. I have been using linux for years -- if that gives folks any clue that I'm not exactly a "newby".
However, I do have an update. I just tried the tools_v2.2a plugin method. Well, not "me", of course, but "a friend". And it was as painless a process as I could imagine.
Locate tools_v2.2a via google.
Unzip it.
Look in the Calibre Plugins directory.
read the .txt instructions
My "friend" now has a bunch (but not all) of his kindle books loaded in Calibre. He sent them to his iPad via calibre, was prompted to change the format to epub -- worked fairly smoothly.
I had begun to buy my books via the iBookStore because I like the iBooks app better. But now that it's fairly easy to strip the drm, make an epub, and load a kindle book into the ibook app, I'm likely to go back to buying my books from Amazon.
