I want to know if this is even legal. My question is in the context of wanting to have a back up copy for myself or for being able to read a B&N nookbook on a Sony ereader etc.
Personally, I don't care if it is considered legal or not if I'm removing the protection so that I can change the format to allow the book to be read on my device of choice. I've paid for it and it's mine to do with as I please, as far as I'm concerned. If I'm having problems holding things for extended time periods and want to use one of my lighter-weight Sony ereaders, then I'm going to convert things to .epub to load them on there for my convenience.
