Control Program for Microprocessors. My first computer was a Televideo running CP/M, with 8" floppy drives. Twelve-inch green screen. It had a treadle like an old sewing machine. (Okay, just kidding about the treadle.)
I hear that it is possible to strip DRM, but whenever I research the subject, the discussion zooms off into "running Python scripts" and other stuff that's over my head. Given that most people are even less computer savvy than I am, I don't consider stripping DRM to be a practical answer to the issue of ebook compatibility. It has to go away at the source.
And geographic restrictions are just nuts. I can see controlling versions in different languages, but we're a global village now and anybody ought to be able to buy, say, an English-language version of a book anywhere in the world. Jeez, we aren't traveling salesmen with trunks of books who need to stake out our territories anymore!
