Stripping DRM is by no means a 10 step process.
It's just a pain. And conversion will sometimes be bad.Pus, calibre is not installed on PC

Converting books into a different format usually works quite well but often enough it doesn't. I have also found that the "just drag them into Calibre and it will remove the DRM" didn't work with some German epubs, despite the proper plug ins. I would certainly not buy a reader that depends on the ability to remove DRM and to convert books into a different format.
Weird, the only time i had inept fail was when i screwed up and forgot to authorize ADE before downloading. Ad my cybook of course, couldn’t read the file either.
And indeed, buying something trusting that a "hack" will work : bad idea !

Main option as mentionned by CommonReader :kobobooks.com
Because they are canadian, selling in the US and UK market required working the rights out. And will they where on it they set it right for us frenchs too. Some books are missing, but it's someting. I'm still seriously pissed at the decision from the UK shops to stop selling outside UK when the agency switch occurred. What the hell happened to Europe ??

Then, the other solution is saying you live in the US / UK to get the content. It works for BooksOnBoard and the sonystore. (For now...)

For books in french, google epagine, numilog. And the fnac of course.
