If one were to drag an AZW file (from kindle4pc's library) into Calibre with the appropriate plugin, nothing more needs to be done to remove the drm? The resulting mobi file is drm-free?
correct

I don't convert anything until I'm ready to put it on a device. If I have an ePub file it sits like that unless I decide I want to put it on my Kindle. Then I convert and email to the Kindle. Same way with the AZW files - I don't convert until I'm ready to load it onto my Sony Pocket.

I suppose that if an announcement was made that a certain format is going to become obsolete and no longer supported (LIT?) then at that point I might query my Calibre database to find any books that I had only in that format and convert them to something current - just as a safety measure.
