Has anyone purchased this program and if you have, how have you found it? I am interested in the ePub DRM removal one, not the converting from ePub to PDF.
DRM removal is a tricky topic legally... at least if you are in America. I am not at all sure that a tool that removes DRM from books can be legally sold in the USA. That means if you buy it, you could find that the company might not support it (or be able to support it).

Now, if you are looking for something that simply converts from say ePub to Mobi or LRF (I tend to convert books to LRF since it allows for full justification on the PRS-505 I am using right now!), then Calibre is about as easy as it gets. No command line skills required if you don't want to go there.
