Once the DRM has been removed, the file can be converted to an open format like FB2. FB2 is basically text and markup, that's it. To make it 100% safe I would remove any images. Of course, once you have converted your file to FB2 you an then re-convert it to any other format if you want.

That is one of the big advantages of an open format/protocol/software: it gives you complete control over what is on your device/computer and nobody can quietly slip some piece of malware/privacy-attacking code
