There seems to be a general consensus that removal of DRM from library ebooks should be discouraged, and even the DRM removal tools do not support it. This is a very reasonable position given that people are able to read their library books on e-ink readers, though less so outside of the United States where Kindles are excluded. However, this position may have to change. If libraries are going to limit reading to their own apps and therefore essentially to Android and IOS, excluding e-ink readers, then DRM removal tools for these formats become very desirable.

I gather DRM on Blio has not been cracked?
