I'd prefer to borrow as much as possible.
There's a plugin for Calibre by Apprentice Alf that does DRM removal, but I've never tried it. I've gone from Amazon -> ePub for Kobo before but not the other way. But you should be able to borrow the book on a computer and then use a tool to strip the DRM.

Once the DRM is removed Calibre can also convert from ePub to Amazon mobi.

Alternatively you could just find a version on the Internet to download, personally I don't think there's a moral difference between using a tool to strip DRM so you can use the device you want and borrowing a book and then downloading a copy with the DRM removed to use on the device you want.
