anyway, i guess you can purchase kindle e-books without having a kindle, you just need kindle for PC software,
it's might be silly thing to do, but at least, now you can get many rare electronic books for competitive prices
For AZW Kindle ebooks, use mobidedrm.py (AZW is essentially MOBI). Note that for mobidedrm to work you need the PID of the target device. It is easy to get the PID of a Kindle 1/2/DX (or an iPhone), but so far the PID used by Kindle for PC is a secret. So you can't strip the DRM from K4PC ebooks.

Most "rare" Kindle ebooks are in the TOPAZ format, which is Kindle-only. These do work on K4PC, and there is typically no non-TOPAZ versions for sale anyway.
