When you convert a book to mobipocket format using their freely available software, you have a few choices.
  • No Encryption
  • Encrypt (Prevents from ripping books to source text)
  • Encrypt with Password (Forces you to use a password to read the book)
  • Encrypt with DRM (Use Mobipocket's standard DRM scheme.)

Mobipocket's DRM server software is freely available as well I believe. You can use the mobipocket format without depending on the company for anything but the software (a one time download).
