So yes, if library borrowing is your main reason for having a bookreader, get one which officially supports it, such as the Sony T1.

To try to head this off from becoming yet another thread war concerning the ethics of drm stripping..... the other side of this argument is that you are simply converting the library e-book (that you have legally borrowed) into a format that can be read on your Kindle. As long as you delete the e-book at the end of the loan period you are not 'stealing' the book. Your own moral compass will have to guide you.
And yes, it is fairly easy to accomplish for the tech savy and challenged alike.
