What happens when the DRM disables the screenshooting, I think we can safely assume that any halfway competent unbreakable DRM system will disable screencaps & TTS while the program is in use?

Not PITA for me at all, because if I spend one hour at reading, I can also spend a couple of minutes to take 50-60 screenshots and transfer those images to my eink (e.g. ebooks from some online service or library).
Of course, if we want to keep those pictures forever, we can OCR them later to save memory and have a searchable pdf or epub.
If screencapturing is disabled (I haven't yet come across such case, though) we can use scanner or camera or some software to unblock the screencapturing.
I've been using jailbreaked iPad and app that allows for almost any action to be used for triggering the screenshot e.g. double pressing on the home button or a simple swipe from any part of the screen (instead of iPad's native simultaneous pressing on the home & sleep buttons that requires two hands), and we can also eliminate accompanying lights and sounds if we want it to, to make it faster or easier on the eyes.
