And if you think that people who take the DRM off their Kindle books don't share with others you are delusional. I would say 80% of the people that take the DRM off share them in some way and that is also against the law.

I also don't agree with the limitations of digital books. When I was younger I used to have tons of paperbacks. I could give them to a friend, my library or sell at a yard sale. Now with digital books you can't do any of that. The prices of digital books are sometimes the same price you would pay for an actual paper book. Yet you can do less with them.

And I wouldn't be asking about the DRM if they had them in Kindle format. Who wants to read on your computer or in a browser window?
Do you have a smartphone or tablet? If so, you can read the books on that. If you don't want to do that, and e-ink is important, then get a cheap e-ink reader that can read epub.
