I'm pretty sure that cryptography isn't one of the skills needed to deal with DRM removal realistically. I think the DRM is handled by the provided viewer, Kindle for PC, and that removal software just has to intercept the output from that.

I'm doing a lot of guessing here, I admit. This isn't something I've dealt with as a programmer. But I do know that DRM is mighty hard to crack and that removal programs for various media require a player provided by the vendor.
