Does anyone know if Amazon changed something about the DRM'd AZW files with their latest update to the Kindle? I'd been very happily purchasing (way too many) eBooks, then removing the DRM and adding the files to my backup archives. I spent the last month or so catching up on a bunch of things that precluded reading, though, and have just recently purchased two new books. MobiDeDrm still chews on the files and spits out a supposedly decrypted file, but now the Kindle claims it can't read the decrypted file.

Anyone else having this issue?

EDIT: I should probably clarify; these are books I've purchased on Amazon.com for use on my Kindle, and as such they come down as .azw files. I'm not trying to move them to a different reader, just back them up un-encrypted in case Amazon implodes, decides they're not supporting it anymore, etc., etc.
