The fact that some hacker managed to strip the DRM at some point is not relevant to the product they sell.

I guess the whole point of this thread is elusive for some folks. Yes Apple, in their infinite control freakness, wants to force you to use only their Apple devices or applications to read their iBooks. Consider that acknowledged.
However, in the context of this thread ... which started in the following way ...

Foolish foolish me. I am a long time Kindle user and decided to finally use $60 of credit on my iTunes account by purchasing some iBooks on the assumption that I could -- as I have done in the past -- remove the DRM and send to my Kindle ...

... it appears that that the original poster wanted (even expected) to read his iBooks on a Kindle. Which is all that I'm saying here. If you want to read your books on a Kindle (or any E-Ink device) don't buy it from Apple.
So, in this case, the fact that iBooks can
not have their DRM stripped is RELEVANT to the thread -- what is NOT relevant is restating the obvious that Apple does not want DRM stripped from their iBooks.
Is there any other way I can make my point any clearer?
