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.
Do you think we need a simpler interface for stripping DRM? The simplest thing is to not allow DRM to exist.
