Say someone bought a book from Amazon and wanted to give his Mom a copy. So, he buys the book, strips the DRM, then emails his Mom a copy of this stripped file.

If she puts it in iTunes on her PC, then syncs her PC with her iPad, is there any concern that the iBooks app on her iPad will "check" to see if there are any stripped files being used?

It'd be a little better if she could put the stripped file in the Kindle app, but I don't think there's any easy way for her to do that without installing some (think its called iPhoneExplorer) hacky type app she won't want to fool with. Or, is there an easy way? If there is, is there any concern about the Kindle app looking for stripped files?
