I'm not going to go into the legality of the removal of DRM, as it varies by country - in some it falls under fair use, in others the situation is murky and in others yet it's explicitly illegal. I have no intention to distribute it or to do anything with it which would result in financial gain. Since I intent to pay for the book, I feel justified doing with it as I described in my initial posting.
I live in the US and the Kindle formats are not controls that prevent me from "accessing (eg viewing)" the contents from Kindle books since Amazon offers Kindle book readers which are available to me. It is however illegal to distribute tools that do that. If you're in the US, the DMCA makes it it illegal to bypass a control that would prevent you accessing (eg viewing) some content, but it's not illegal to bypass a control that only prevents you copying or doing some other action with the content. The OP may or may not live somewhere that format shifting is an exemption, or even somewhere where there is no DMCA equivalent. It may violate some other (more serious) (), such as the DCMA, but this is dependent on where you live and possibly what purpose you will be using the e-book for. Removing or bypassing DRM doesn't violate copyright. Since removing a DRM violates copywrite laws, I don't think you will find anything trustable.

I would like to buy a Kindle ebook from Amazon. I'd like to know how I can strip DRM from a Kindle book.
