By the way, MobiPocket PID's don't always have "$" as the 8th character. A modified version that discarded the last 2 characters out of 10 and ignored the "$" worked for me even on a PID without the "$".
Here is a link to the MobileRead Harvard Classics Mobi version of Vol 10. No DRM at all.

In fact, the entire Harvard Classics series is available for free at MobileRead.
