The only possible way it could be more simple is if someone came to your house and did it for you.

Interestingly, most people on this forum admit to stripping DRM the moment an infected book hits their hard drive. The reason given is to ensure said book will be readable by any future hardware they may own. BUT ... any actual mention of converting a book gets everyones panties all in a knot. "OMG Horrors! You want me to do what? Convert an epub to a mobi? But I have ETHICS!!!"
We are not saying it's OK to strip DRM, ut it's not OK to format shift. We are saying it's not OK to strip the DRM from library eBooks and convert. Content you have purchased is different. And that is a gray area. There is no gray area with library eBooks.
