It is most certainly against the TOS to strip DRM from library books. And I also consider it unethical. Are you going to argue my personal ethics are wrong?
You're very tenacious though, popping into every thread that mentions Kindle+library to declare that library books can be read on the Kindle. It's also possible to run burned games on my Xbox360... oh, did I mention I have to mod it first? I didn't? Well, newbie, you should get it anyway. Don't worry about the technical side of it, the legal issues, or ethical implications either. Just know that it can be done. That's all you need to know to make your decision. What a load of unhelpful BS.

an SUV can maneuver through the snow. does it do it on its own? no a skilled driver needs to be behind the wheel. it does not come off the lot able to negotiate narrow mountain roads sure to make people white knuckle the steering wheel. it has the ability to conquer both scenarios, just as the kindle has the ability with a person that has just a tiny bit of curiosity can get library books onto the kindle.
a licensed practicing attorney has given us this information in the Kindle forums regarding the legality and ethics of stripping DRM for personal use.
I'll pop into any thread I please and clear up disinformation
