I have no personal problem with taking off DRM so that I can shift it to another platform for my own use. (But I've also never tried, and I've seen some cries of anguish on the board here from people trying to get it right.)

Well, that's what the Kindlefix Hack does.
Amazon hides the PID (which you need for protected files) of the Kindle and the script allows you to get it. The main drawback is the the resultant PID is non standard, and many online book stores can't accept it. Still it should work with Library books, and I thinks that's one of the main reason people use it.
The Kindle should read any non protected Mobi files fine, the only exception if I understand correctly is Dictionaries, as the Kindle currently only supports one dictionary at a time.
As for stripping, its pretty easy and anyone who posts on the board
should be able to figure it out. Ince you do, its just a matter of seconds per book.
