If I have a Mobipocket eBook that has say 2 PIDs in it and I can view it with Mobipocket Reader and then I change the document type (one of the PIDs is for the Kindle) to say this can be viewed with a Kindle, I've just changed the DRM. I can no longer view it with Mobipocket Reader. So in effect, I have just changed the DRM. I have prevented this eBook from being read on the devices it was meant to be read on based on the PID and document type.
The DRM is no longer the same DRM it was before. The DRM tells me what I can and cannot read the eBook with. Changing just the document type is changing the DRM's permission. So in effect, you have changed the DRM to allow Overdrive Mobipocket eBooks to be viewed on a Kindle.
Persoanlly, I do not see any difference to changing the DRM to allow the eBook to be viewed on a Kindle as opposed to reading it with Mobipocket Reader. For library eBooks, the DRM is still going to expire so it cannot be read bast it's allowed time. But legally, this may not be acceptable.
