Okay, I think I solved my problem!
I had a backup of my Kindle on my computer from about 4-5 months ago -- and I just replaced all the files that were currently on my Kindle with that backup.
And it seems to have worked. Most of the books I had on my Kindle are back on it now and are readable -- no DRM problems. And the special covers I sometimes make for my ebooks are also there as well.
Of course, I'm missing a fair amount of books that I added in recent months, but that should be easily solved by using Calibre to add them to my Kindle again.
Thanks to everyone who offered their help to me in attempting to correct this screw up. It is greatly appreciated.
