A friend of mine bought an IBook ever about 12 months ago out of simple curiosity as to whether it was still possible to remove DRM with Requiem. As it turned out it was possible but was a great deal of trouble. Basically she needed to download an old version of ITunes and the matching version of Requiem. As regressing ITunes versions causes problems, she chose to use a virtual machine running XP which had never had ITunes installed. This did work at the time, probably still does and probably will continue to do so whilst Apple continues to allow use of the old ITunes version(s) needed. It is worth noting that not all ITunes books have DRM, though clearly the vast majority do.
I suspect, with no direct evidence whatsoever, that Tuneskit may be based on Requiem but updated for each new version of ITunes. There is nothing mystical about Fairplay, though Apple seems to be far more committed to and protective of its DRM.
Personally, I see no reason to ever buy an ebook from Apple.
