Fair use says you can remove the DRM for your own use. And until it's decided in a court of law, there is no way to know what trumps what. So for now it is a gray area as far as legality of removing DRM. There is a DMCA exception that says if there isn't a copy of the eBook that allows reading aloud, the DRM can be stripped legally.
