So for you it seems to be like this: Folks come here, ask for help to which reader to buy and it goes like, doesn't matter because stripping DRM is easy. They buy a reader, for example a Kindle, that appeals to them and when they want to lend from the library, they find it does not work. When they come back here to ask for details about that DRM thingy, they are told, we can't help you here as it is illegal but have a google search. And the person that does not want to do the illegal thing and ends up with a reader they can not use without breaking the law, was then reasonable challenged in your terms of speaking???
I'd prefer to be given the whole information from the start.

We've had a few attorneys parse the language, the qualifiers and the exceptions and reach differing conclusions. An e-ink reader is perfect as it has all kinds of shade of gray.

Ah, this is very interesting. I said, in their country it might be illegal. So either your aformentioned attorneys gave you information of every country in the world or you are just talking about your little corner of the world... Let me guess, it's the last. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news for you: The world is bigger than America. And the OP comes from Norway.
