Reading Adobe DRM books on Onyx Universe

I am trying to read Adobe DRM protected books on my brand new Onyx Boox Universe. But none of the e-readers bundled with it are able to open DRM protected books. Is that normal?

I did install Mantano Reader on the device, and it can open DRM books. The problem with it is that when I try to use TTS in Mantano, it only reads the very first sentence of the page. And I really need to use the TTS feature.

Have people here have experience with an e-reader that:
- Runs on the Onyx Boox
- Will open Adobe DRM protected books
- Will run the TTS correctly

Incidentally, it seems most of the bundled e-readers have trouble with TTS. For example, OReader will also only read the first sentence of a page, when using OnyxTTS. When using Pico TTS, it reads the whole page, but Pico sounds so awful compared to the OnyxTTS. With FBReader, both Pico and OnyxTTS will read the whole page, but the more natural sounding OnyxTTS pauses for 3 whole seconds between pages. OnyxReader behaves the exact same way.

The only bundled e-reader that does TTS correctly, is Onyx Neo Reader.
