You only need Calibre to strip the DRM out of Nook and Kindle files, and 
It's free!  It will convert between Mobi and EPub.  It's pronounced

This program looks very interesting and potentially very useful.
Now, if it would strip the DRM out of Barns and Noble Epub or out of
Amazon kindle's proprietary ebook files, I would buy it for sure!
