My guess is that this would be easier for ADE than for MOBI, but I have not looked at either one. Since I am of the opinion that stripping DRM for personal use is legal in the US (where I live) the primary reason for doing this for me personally would be if the DRM-ridden viewer has more features than the OpenInkPot version. This is true for ePub (although I am not a fan of ADE), but less so for MOBI. It would probably be less effort to fix the MOBI deficiencies in FBReader (and version 0.11.0 apparently reads high compression MOBIs) than to get MobiPocket Java reader working. However the two tasks require some waht different skill sets.

Another possible option for me (and interested others) would be to convert all my EPUB titles to Mobipocket format, but in the past I've encountered some inherent EPUB-formatting problems in doing this which I've not been able readily to overcome short of extracting and re-editing the titles in their HTML versions. Many people recommend just using FBReader as their over-all format, and then sticking with OI, but I haven't investigated this option sufficiently to go that route.
