If you are just removing the DRM to convert the book to another format so you can read it, its technically illegal, but chances of you getting in trouble with the law for it? Highly unllikely.
I don't consider it to be unethical, unless of course you are reselling the book. If it just for your reading enjoyment? That doesn't seem unethical to me.

Hmm, well, I'm certainly not standing in judgment of anyone else, and if you choose to do that, it's your prerogative. But if I'm kind of a nitpicker for staying on the right side of the law, so unless someone can show me a difference between "technically illegal" and "actually illegal" that would hold up in court, I think I'll pass.
