Do you want to know how your own books, both in ePub and Mobi look on a reader?
If this is your question, and you want to know it 'while writing', and not only after publishing, I think there are several possibilities, without having the hassle of DRM-removing.
Most devices do indeed only read either DRM-Mobi (Kindle-format) or ePub with Adobe-DRM, but there are several devices that can read (all) ePubs and DRM-less Mobi.
So you can write your book e.g. as an ePub (Sigil), and convert it in a few clicks to Mobi, and, since it's your own DRM-less copy, you can read both on several readers (My BeBook reads ePub and Mobi).
I found this list of ereaders that read both ePub and Mobi, don't know if this is still up-to-date, but there must be quite some different readers that read both.
