Caveat, that only works as long as the book provider still supports old methods of acquiring books and encryption. As we can see, B&N has already pulled support for certain methods.

That's why I DeDRM almost immediately after purchase. You never know when Amazon/Kobo/Nook/Adobe will pull the plug and the old method will stop working. Ability to remove DRM is also the reason I buy physical Blu-ray instead of buying video on-demand.
