N.B. circumventing DRM is only a criminal act if done "willfully and for purposes of commercial advantage or private financial gain".
So removing DRM from your own purchased ebooks is not a criminal offence, unless the publisher also sells a DRM-free version of the ebook at a higher price, at least in the US.
