I did do a little investigating (not much, it is true) into stripping DRM because there is a book I want that is only available on B&N or Amazon and it looks pretty darn complicated to me.
This is a mistake many make. It looks complicated... it sounds complicated. But it's not. It used to be, yes. Of course, it may still be beyond some people's technical skills (I'm not denying it), but if you can manage to download/install Calibre, unzip a file, browse to a specific folder (with a standard GUI dialogue box), and click an OK button... then stripping the DRM from books is not above your pay-grade. Those requirements will certainly still leave some people out in the cold, but nobody will ever convince me that they represent a very significant portion of the ebook purchasing public.
