I've had good success with dbPowerAmp. What you lose is the metadata, etc. But what you get is a clear MP3 (or whatever) with no restrictions. Also, it uses multiple available cores to allow you to do several books at once. A new version is in beta right now that will be fully 64-bit. But not sure how that will interact with the old piece of Audible Manager that is used to read the DRM'd book.

It's still a minor nuisance, but now that I've got it set up, it's fine for making sure I have archival copies.
