That might be ok if every book you read is purchased. If you did not buy the books, then the "..." part (removing of DRM) is questionable. I simply refuse to get tempted into trying other Amazon incompatible (e.g. H2O) readers as most of our reads are not purchased any more. Most reading has happened through Kindle Unlimited ever since we signed up for the trial - and that is not something I want to get involved in to remove DRM on loaned books. Not so much about being honest and delete the books after, but that Amazon won't know how much I did read of the book. If they don't know, they won't be able to pay the author either. In my book that is stealing twice - first for removing DRM from loaned books, and then even denying payment for the book. What good would a ereader do me if I could only use it it for the very rare occasion of a purchased book?
