DRM=Digital Rights Management. It is supposed to be a deterrent to pirating.

Library books have Adobe DRM attached for both ePUB and PDF. It is part of the Overdrive system process that is used in No AMerica and elsewhere. If a particular library does not use Overdrive, the books would still have DRM if required to do so by the Publisher.

Some folks may have a problem with the idea of stripping the DRM from library books as these are not items that have been purchased by the person removing the DRM and the books are not supposed to be under the control of the person borrowing the book after the time limit has expired. DRM free books are "ours" forever.
