There is no right to read "clean" ebooks. Hell, there's not even a right to read a book in electronic form to begin with. There is only the right to not read books you don't care for. In fact, the perceived "right" to change anything and everything one doesn't like into something one does is entirely imaginary.

The app will still work with drm-free, sideloaded ebooks, so no freedom of choice is being taken away from anyone. They're just being denied the fictitious additional right they mistakenly believed they had to buy/sell special, editable-on-the-fly, DRMed retail ebooks. Which at the very least, was treading on ambiguous/unprecedented legal ground when it comes to content licensing in this, the age, of digital "rights" (even if it turns out that it's not copyright that's being violated).
