This is completely untrue. Open source encryption/decryption algorithms don't mean that the encryption can be cracked. If you don't believe me, go and find any of the PGP source code that's available, and use it to crack a PGP-encypted message .

It's no secret how to decrypt Mobi or ePub files, anyway.

Almost all encryption/decryption algorithms are "public".
