No. It is characteristic of DRM that there is only one reader for the format on a given machine type.

In the case of eReader, it is possible to remove the DRM (eReader Decoder Tool). Calibre can then format shift the resulting HTML to other ebook formats (I suggest 0.6.0 beta if you are new to Calibre, it is almost ready to come out of beta testing and supports more output formats). Other good options for Windows XP Readers include MobiPocket (MOBI), Adobe Digital Editions (ePub), and FBReader (many DRM-free formats).

Stripping DRM from ebooks for personal use is thought by some to be illegal in the US, but no one has ever been sued for doing so.
