You can only do it if you're using an "unofficial" viewer for the non-DRM mobipocket. iRex is using the official Mobipocket SDK, so they are not allowed to continue to use that, even for non-DRM.

Other devices that get away with it are using a 3rd party viewer for their non-DRM Mobipocket support (FBReader, etc).

You can already get versions of FBReader to support non-DRM Mobipocket for the iLiad and DR1000. I assume the same will be true for the DR800 once the code is opened up.
