Yep, been doing this.

Now, to convert DRM-free eReader .pdb to .html is also doable.

Then, you would only need to go from .html to DRM-free eReader .pdb using How to Convert an eBook into eReader Format for the iPhone* Using Publish eBook or similar process.

*Obviously, you would substitute 'HTC' for 'iPhone' above.

If this works, then the process may be automated, depending on how many times you need to do this.
I use an MSWORD macros to convert filename.html (with filename_img folder containing .png). Resulting file is .pdb. The problem is, during exploding secured.pdb to html with ereader2html.py, the resulting .html has 'issues' that when I convert back with the MSWORD macro, correct formatting becomes an issue. I have to manually insert pml scripts/tags in many places to re-create correct formatting. For 1 or 2 .pdb, this would be fine. For dozens of .pdb, it becomes tedious process. Something like ereaderdeDRM.py would be a wonderful solution.
Unfortunately, I know jack S*H%t about PERL/PYTHON and the likes. Programming virgin, so to speak. So... help? Pretty please?
