It is even easier to scan an drm-ed e-book then, because we don't need any book scanner, since any hi-res tablet is a great scanner that can take screenshots at about couple of seconds on average for the whole ebook.

So, if we e.g. want to read drm-ed mobi ebook on our epub e-ink reader instead of lcd tablet, it takes only a couple of minutes to take e.g. 50 screenshots for our 30 min. reading session that day, at desired letter size, and we can immediately and legally read those pictures on our epub e-ink reader deleting them immediately thereafter, of course, if the law in our country permits such practice for the personal use.

Even easier if our future e-ink reader could be used as a second monitor for our PC/tablet/phone, using wi-fi or wires.
