There is a detailed thread about this in the Calibre forum.
Sorry, but it does not require jumping through hoops once setup with either KindleforPC or MAC or a Kindle.

Steps to remove DRM if there is DRM (sames steps if there is no DRM).
1. Buy the eBook
2. Download the eBook with Firefox
3. Load the eBook into my Calibre library

That's it. No hoops involved. My next steps...
1. Convert to ePub using the KindleUnpack plugin.
2. Load the ePub into he Calibre editor and run epubcheck and fix any errors.
3. Once the errors are fixed, fix the formatting to my liking.

Sometimes you can find that Kindle eBooks can be not all that good. Self-published can be the worst. For example, all the chapters in one HTML file.
