It is convenient to ignore this breach of the ToS, because the vendors want to make sales. But the ToS is as valid as any other ToS. Copying the ebook to your device through ADE is illegal. So is using ereader software (RMSDK) to decrypt and extract the ebook resources from the container format in order to display the ebook onscreen.

Every TOS I've ever bothered to read explicitly allows for whatever is necessary for the purchaser to use it as (the seller) intends, which is to say, read it on an authorized device. So no, it's not an illegal breach of the TOS to use it as the TOS says you may.
