When we discuss unbreakable DRM, we don't mean DRM that's unbreakable by a third party, but a DRM that prevents the person buying the product from obtaining a DRM-free version of the product from the DRMed product.

You're right, sort of. My assumption was that the reading software wouldn't allow the user to save the decrypted book to a different file. (None of them explicitly do that now but, as others have pointed out, that is what Alf's tools do-so I simply didn't follow my thought far enough.)
