The vast majority of MOBI (PRC) ebooks you buy have DRM (i.e. are encrypted). The python script mobidedrm can strip the DRM from MOBI files though.
Then, when it's been de-DRM'ed, you can use Mobi2IMP to convert the .prc to .imp!

If the .prc was compressed using high compression (HuffDic), then Mobi2IMP won't work and you would need to first use mobi2oeb.exe from the calibre software suite for the Sony ebook readers. Then, using eBook Publisher, see if it can produce your .imp after loading the .opf created by mobi2oeb. If you need help here, just post how far you got and we will get you through it.

Be sure to check our IMP software wiki for more conversion programs dealing with the .imp format!
