Is that too much for one post?
Options:
1- Buy a Hanlin V3 ebook reader (say the Astak) and install the Mobi-DRM capable firmware

2- There is a GUI front-end package available for the MobiDRM remover floating around. If you found the removal tool, you'll be able to find the ebookutility. It reportedly does batch removals. (No personal experience.)

3- Except for Sony and nook, pretty much all ebook reader gadgets handle DRM-free Mobi pretty well, Kindle included.

4- Calibre is a very nice conversion tool but it can be tricky in places; it has a learning curve and is in constant update mode.

It really comes down to time and money; do you want to throw time or money at the problem?

Its early in the age of ebooks; we're all pioneers.
(And you know what they say of pioneers...)
