That's my problem and question...

Books found in the inlibrary collection at Open Library will be Protected DAISY. You can search the read collection instead to find books that can be read without restriction. This will include Open DAISY for most books. (This is a much smaller collection of public domain works.)


ETA:
For the formats of interest to most people (such as EPUB and PDF) you need to borrow books from inlibrary to obtain copies with Adobe DRM. You can also download non-DRM copies from the much smaller read collection. I don't know why you would be interested in DAISY format at all if you do not have a disability. Perhaps I am misunderstanding your question.
