Clearly, many people know how, and are happy to strip DRM from e-books that they "buy". When I wrote that post - five months ago - I was referring to those who don't, or aren't.
They will be inconvenienced, unless they decide to ditch their e-books, or opt to buy e-books from sellers such as
BeWrite Books and
O'Reilly - all their e-books are DRM-free. Some people consider DRM-stripping to be an inconvenience, which they can't be bothered with. In any case, the legality of DRM-stripping is not the same in all countries, so some people may feel more inhibited than others, for that reason if not for any other. So, I don't believe that all those who have large enough libraries will necessarily be motivated to, or feel comfortable about stripping DRM from their e-books, before e-readers or DRM are superseded by new technology.
