The copistar program uses what are essentially images of the screen, to build a "scan" of the ebook. In post #18 (above) chorpler lays out one approach to get this to text and then to MOBI. As you can see it is complicated, and OCR isn't perfect (although these will be very good scans).

This probably only makes sense for ebooks you already own, or that are only available as Secure Adobe PDF ebooks, since otherwise buying LIT or MOBI or eReader versions provides a much simpler path to a DRM-free MOBI.
