You have a good shot at removing the underlines from a KF8 kindlebook (either the KF8 portion of a dual format MOBI or a stand-alone AZW3). But a true, dyed-in-the-wool, old-fashioned MOBIPOCKET book?? I'm not sure you can do it with calibre to be honest.

You used to be able to override the Kindle's default underlining behavior by using the <mbp:nu> tag preceding a link (with MobiPocket Creator and kindlegen), but I don't know that THAT even works anymore (or if calibre ever honored that particular mobi markup tag). The reason you had to go to such great lengths to eliminate the line were fairly self-explanatory: on a black & white screen with no mouse pointer (and no touch capabilities) ... how on earth would you know there was a link there without some sort of visual indication?
