And any other way to put the * back in if they do strip it?
Your best bet is to install Mobipocket Reader software and get the PID from that to use at the eBook stores. Then use mobidedrm on it... the resulting non-DRMed .prc file will work on your Kindle.

Or, you can buy LIT ebooks and use convertLit then use lit2mobi.exe from mobiperl package.
