Really, in what way is it copyright infringement?

You do not get licenses to read. The distributor of the book probably had a license. A license to distribute copies with a specific DRM on it.

I would say that the problem is that you are breaking the contract by removing the DRM. In the same way as you do when you buy books from bookstores and remove the DRM.
