What I don't get is why I need to remove the DRM to use the file that I purchased ... doesn't that remove any potential benefit from the DRMing and just make the end user irritated? How can this go on so long and not get fixed ... I've been trying to get a dictionary for months and I have no alternative other than to mess with the file in order to get it on my hardware. That sucks.

There is no potential benefit to DRM. Can you name me one? You did decide to purchase a Kindle and if you now find that you cannget get a dictionary for it that you want, who have you to blame but yourself? If you had purchased a device that used Mobipocket dictionaries directly, you would not have these problems. No need to rant about a problem that you did cause for yourself.
