I completely agree RE the plugin framework. It's just that I always cringe a bit whenever someone says; "Calibre removes DRM." I know it's a technicality thing, but the distinction is important in this case, I think. Saying Calibre removes DRM implies that Calibre is, itself, DRM-removal software (and everything that would imply, if true) in my mind.

2009 is the earliest incarnation of the pluginized mobidedrm script I can recall.
