No, you are correct. However, there are 2 options. 1)Buy ebooks that do not have DRM on them. 2) Buy a format that has DRM which can be removed. Option 2 is really what I meant.

While the legality of 2 is not clear depending on the country you are in as long as you are converting a book that you bought for yourself and you aren't distributing it with everyone then your not denying anyone any revenue. Many don't have a moral dilemma with this. But you have to make up your own mind.
