Advise is a verb. I would advise you that that course of action is not going to give the desired result.
Advice is a noun. My advice to you is that you find a better dictionary.
So I advise the original suggestion about the title of this thread was correct. The OP is looking for advice though we can advise him.

As for the original question, my opinion is that purchasing a Kindle and then removing DRM from library books to format change them is not acceptable behaviour.
Your moral compass may vary.
Edit: As I was just told in a PM, I'm being a hypocrite. I don't think that being willing to remove DRM from books to which I can claim ownership (liscensee-ship?) but not being willing to remove DRM from a borrowed book is hypocritical. Simply put, one is mine, the other isn't.
"The problem with defending the purity of the English language is that English is about as pure as a cribhouse whore. We don’t just borrow words; on occasion, English has pursued other languages down alleyways to beat them unconscious and rifle their pockets for new vocabulary." --James D. Nicoll
