Your situation is a textbook example of the ridiculous situation that currently exists. Your options are to wait until someone gets around to making the books available in a non-drm format, to buy a version with DRM, strip the DRM and convert to the format you want, or simply download pirate versions. The first is of course the only option that is definitely legally and morally acceptable. The third is legally and morally wrong. The second is legally wrong in some countries, legally okay in others and morally ambiguous, depending on how you want to argue. In talking morally, it is on the basis that two wrongs do not make a right, that is that no matter how reprehensible the behaviour of the publishers etc, it does not justify you behaving immorally in return.
I of course cannot recommend the third option. I do recommend the second if it can be done legally in your country.
