I think the important part is not everyone can strip DRM from an ebook no matter how easy it was for them to locate MR. I told my mom about MR...she typed the address in character by painful character. Does this mean she can now strip DRM? No, not at all.
My mother has a Kobo - not a Kindle - because she wants to read library ebooks. There is NO WAY on God's green earth that I could teach her how to strip DRM from a library ebook without losing my mind. My mother can't even re-size her windows on her computer desktop and now you are encouraging her to strip DRM?? Do you have any clue how difficult it was to show her how to use the very basics of Calibre (drag, drop, plug & go). She calls me last night screaming "Why haven't the green check marks gone away?!!"
If you know how to strip DRM from your library books, that's great. But don't tell others that it is simple and easy. Not everyone has the same skill set. If it doesn't work out of the box, it doesn't work for everyone.
