Sorry I should have said that in my first post

I see, just checking. I don't specifically go out of my way to buy DRM free (Not sure whether it's possible with the authors I read). I don't like or agree with the whole device dependant DRM thing. If Amazon were to fall into line with the rest of the e-book world and adopt the option of Adobe DRM, then I probably wouldn't bother stripping the DRM as there'd be little point in doing so.
As it is, I feel (legal or not) that if I paid £15 for a book on Kobo's store and decide I want to read it on a none Kobo device (Kindle or otherwise) I shouldn't have to go through hoops to do so. IMHO it's disingenuous to claim stripping DRM is theft, IMO it's merely protecting ones purchase.
I have occasionally pondered sending the e-pub -> Mobi conversions to the Amazon Cloud, but lack the courage to risk my Amazon account by doing so. I think I'll continue in as I am, in the light of your response ;-)
