What's that? A caveat for the Americans with Disabilities Act?

It is one of the exceptions to the DMCA set by the Library of Congress, see Wikipedia: DMCA.

There is no mention of having to be disabled. And some people who would need a read aloud feature might not be able to break the DRM themselves. So yes, it is legal for me to rmove the DRM from MS Reader eBooks.

I decided to try this, since I'm now in Chicago and got my library card yesterday evening. It was painless. Go to the site, browse media, go through a simple "checkout" process where I registered my MobiPocket PID (one time only step), and then downloaded the book.

I was able to get my book onto my Reader through the typical route one takes with DRM'd mobi files.

I expect that the PC copy of the book with Mobipocket Reader will self-delete or otherwise become unreadable after the 21 day loan period. It will be up to me to honor that and manually delete the book on my Reader.
Access will be denied after the 21st day. You will probably need to delete the file yourself.
