Yep. Their .lrx is one of the few ebook DRM schemes that hasn't been broken. Adobe ADE .pdf and .pub, .mobi, .azw, .lit and probably some others I'm missing can all be stripped and converted. The other common one is .azw1/.tpz. This is Amazon's Topaz format. The vast majority of Amazon books are .azw and convertible. I've had two Topaz files in the year and a half I've been buying Amazon books. They're usually back catalog stuff that the publisher didn't want to put much effort into digitizing. It's a quick way to scan and OCR a printed document into an ebook. The quality is often low so it's best to avoid them when you can anyway.
