A huge problem with DRM is one cannot even "share" the ebook between ereader apps. I decided to DeDRM because I tried to read a book using the Moon Reader; the book is in the Aldiko ereader app which was "registered" with Adobe; the Moon Reader didn't (still) don't have an Adobe setting. The ebook is in the Aldiko library directory; notice that the book location wasn't changed or even copied to another directory, but the Moon Reader was not able to read the book.
The DRM disables the ability of a person wanting to check the capabilities of another or any other ebook reader app. So it is definitely a LIE that Adobe DRM is for a "device" as the book is on the same physical device.
Another problem I had was the use of the registration. My public library had a different reg than the erader/tablet. There was a claim that I can have more than one Adobe ID; sometimes it is true but seem to be disabled. Anyway one of my Adobe IDs had to be changed in order to read a book from the public library; I elected to change the library adobe-id as I wasn't successfully able to get any adobe-id verification to allow me to read the library book.
My reasons for doing away with the DRM is valid as it violated its own specs since it didn't let me read a DRM'ed book with a reader app of my choice. Having a tablet or ereader be adobe-id'ed is not an option nor desirable; especially when one has to go thru the process again with another tablet & possibly a different adobe-id as adobe doesn't really allow multiple id's.
