(Why it's not possible to use some open source solution puzzles me, but me keeps thinking Adobe and all the other DRM advocates will be happier this way...)

What worries me still: Will there be any future improvements on the PDF part in the Mobi FW? (As this will come from Adobe SDK as well, will they be allowed to use it in the non-ePub FW???)
