Not going to happen anytime soon; ebook sellers are trying to push the
idea of 1 purchase = 1 reader, and they don't want to support any
software that would allow people to treat ebooks like they treat their
other purchases.

However, in the "non-easy" category, Kindle AZW books can be run
through Mobidedrm and unlocked, and then converted to a format the
Sony can read. Sony LRX books and Kindle TPZ books cannot (yet) be
cracked.

http://www.processtext.com/abcrocketebook.html says it converts Rocket
eBooks, but doesn't say if it works on DRM'd books. (Are Rocket eBooks
DRM'd?)
