And if it is legal in your area, DRM removal is possible.

Not always. I went looking for
Mech by MR member BVLarson. Kindle only. I did however find a funny zombie book (
The Changed by B.J. Burrow, non-DRM) that I did buy from another site. And that book is in Kindle, PDF, ePub, etc.
Larsons problem is that even if he makes it available in non-DRM format later, I will not remember to keep looking for it. Sale lost.
Again, why should I have to make their product work on my reader? Imagine a tire dealer saying that you can ONLY use his tires if you modify YOUR car. I'll just go elsewhere.
